Draw the nature of $V -I$ graph for a nichrome wire. $(V -$ Potential difference, $I -$ Current)
$A$ metallic wire of $625\, mm$ length offers a $4\, \Omega$ resistance. If the resistivity of the metal is $4.8 \times 10^{-7} \,ohm-metre$, then calculate the area of cross$-$ section of the wire.
The graph is as shown
Given $\quad \rho=4.8 \times 10^{-7} \Omega m$
$L=625 mm =0.625 m , R =4 \Omega, A =?$
Using the expression $R =\frac{\rho L }{ A },$ we have
$A=\frac{\rho L}{R}=\frac{4.8 \times 10^{-7} \times 0.625}{4}$
$=0.75 \times 10^{-7} m ^{2}$
Define one ampere.
A metal has a very large number of free electrons and a non$-$metal very less number of free electrons.
What is the unit of electric current?
If a copper layer has to deposited on a steel spoon by clectroplating, where should the copper rod be connected?
What will happen to the current in a circuit, if its resistance is doubled ?
