Steady Electric Currents


  1. A dc voltage of 10 V is applied to the ends of a conducting wire of length 100m and diameter 2mm. The resulting current is 0.1A. What is the conductivity of the wire? What is the power dissipation in the wire ? Assuming the electron mobility to be . Calculate the drift velocity.

  2. Solution :
