The electrical resistance of a wire varies directly as its length and inversely as the Square of its diameter.
:
That would be:
r =
:
If a wire with length 100cm and diameter 2mm has a resistance of 1.5 Ohms,
let k = constant of variation
= r
= 1.5
= 1.5
25k = 1.5
k =
k = .06 is the constant of variation
:
find the resistance of a wire with length 300cm and diameter 3mm.
r =
r =
r = 2 ohms
