Question 4
a) An aluminum wire 7.5m long is connected in parallel with a copper wire 6m long. When a current of 5A is passed through the combination, it is found that the current in the aluminium wire is 3A. If the diameter of the aluminium wire is 1mm, determine the diameter of the copper wire. Assume the resistivity of copper to be 0.017μΩm and that of aluminium to be 0.028 μΩm.
b) Two capacitors A and B are connected in series across a 100V supply and it is observed that the p.ds across them 60V and 40V respectively. A capacitor of 2μF capacitance is now connected in parallel with A and the p.d across B rises to 90V. Calculate the capacitance of A and B in microfarads. EV[8marks]
c) Give four 1Ω resistors,state how they must be connected to give an overall resistance of (a) ¼ Ω (b) 1Ω (c) 4/3Ω (d) 5/2 Ω, all four resistors being connected

A 50 cm long rod is half aluminum and half copper. The aluminum end is in boiling water. The end of an aluminum rod (50 cm long) is maintained at 100 C by immersing in a pot of boiling water and the other end at 00C by an ice-water mixture. If the cross-sectional area of the rod is 1.3 cm2, how much will the rod melt in 20 min? What will be the steady temperature at the Al-Cu junction?

Current through a heated metal wire A 39.5 m long copper wire at a temperature of 22.9 oC has a radius of 0.275 mm. If a potential difference of 11.8 V is applied across the length of the wire, determine the current in the wire. If the wire is heated to 90.6 oC and the 11.8 V potential difference is maintained, what is the resulting current in the wire?

A m1 = 1.00-kg aluminum block and a m2 = 6.10-kg copper block are connected by a light string over a frictionless pulley. The two blocks are allowed to move on a fixed steel block wedge (of angle θ = 34.5°) as shown in the figure. (For aluminum on steel, μs = 0.61 and μk = 0.47. For copper on steel, μs = 0.53 and μk = 0.36.) (a) the acceleration of the two blocks and (b) the tension in...
