Q:

A wire of copper having length I and area of cross-section A is taken and a current / is flown through it. The power dissipated in the wire is P. If we take an aluminium wire having same dimensions and pass the same current through it, the power dissipated will be

A) P B) < P
C) > P D) 2P
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) > P

Explanation:

Aluminum has a resistivity varying from 2.65 to 2.82 × 10−8 Ω m.The resistivity of copper is generally given as: 1.72 x 10-8 Ω.m.So, since resistivity of aluminium is higher than that of copper, so Power dissipated will be greater than P. this is because rest of the factors (l, A and i) are constant.

Q:

Work done in a free expansion process is

A) Minimun B) 0
C) Maximum D) None of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 0

Explanation:

No work done as there is no external external pressure in free expansion. 

 

Hence, Work done in a free expansion process is Zero.

Q:

What is the relationship between Resistivity and Conductivity?

Answer

Resistivity :


Resistivity is a measure of the resistance to the flow of electrons. 


Conductivity :


Conductivity is just the inverse of resistivity, σ = 1/ρ, where σ is conductivity and ρ is resistivity.


 


Example:


Think of a pipe and water, the bigger the pipe, the easier water can flow and thus the lower the resistance.
