A rectangular block of copper has sides of length 12 cm, 26 cm, and 37 cm. If the block is connected to a 5.4 V source across two of its opposite faces, find the following.
(a) What is the maximum current the block can carry?
(b) What is the minimum current the block can carry?
Given voltage,
Resstivity of copper,
Current*Resistance = Voltage
Voltage and resistivity are constants.
So Current will be maximum if the cross-sectional area is largest and length is the smallest
and current will be minimum if the cross-sectional area is smallest and length is the largest
(a) What is the maximum current the block can carry?
Length is the smallest and area is largest
Dimensions,
