An engineer is designing a product in which a copper wire will carry large amounts of electricity. The resistive heating of a 66 g copper wire is expected to add 550 J of heat energy during a 10-minute operating cycle.

By what percentage does the volume increase because of the temperature increase?

(Note: Remember to always use unrounded values in calculations then round final answers to the correct significant figures.)

You may use the following information about copper to answer the question:

specific heat = 0.385 J g-1 °C-1

density = 8.94 g/cm3

coefficient thermal expansion = 6.5 µm m-1 K-1

A small loop of copper wire is inside and held perpindicular to a large, uniform magnetic field. You move the loop in circles and vary the speed. What do you observe? a. The faster the speed, the greater the current. b. As you decrease the radius of the path of the loop in the field the current increases. c. As you increase speed, the current decreases. d. Nothing. No current is induced.

An engineer is designing a battery for use in a device that will be subjected to some extreme variations in temperature. The only design parameter that he can select at this point is the plate material for the battery, and he has three possible choices (1, 2, and 3). The engineer decides to test all three plate materials at three temperature levels (15°F, 70°F, and 125°F) because these temperatures are consistent with the product end-use environment. Four batteries are tested...

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...

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?
