Question

A 1.30{ m m} cylindrical rod of diameter 0.550{ m cm} is connected to a power supply that maintains a constant potential difference of 14.0{ m V} across its ends, while an ammeter measures the current through it.A 1.30{ m m} cylindrical rod of diameter 0.550{ m cm} is connected to a power supply that maintains a constant potential difference of 14.0{ m V} across its ends, while an ammeter measures the current through it. You observe that at room temperature (20.0 ^circ { m C}) the ammeter reads 18.8{ m A} , while at 92.0 ^circ { m C} it reads 17.3{ m A} . You can ignore any thermal expansion of the rod.

Part A
Find the resistivity and for the material of the rod at 20 ^circ { m C}.

Explanation / Answer

Resistivity of Carbon@ 20°C 3500 * 10^(-8} ?
