Q

diff ohmic resistance

A

it is a type of opposition against the flow of electric charges duto to the firiction between the electron and moleculs of conductor that causes loss of electric charges in form of thermal energy

16
Q

copper has high conductivity

A

because it has high concentration of free electrons

17
Q

the resistance of wire and its resistivity increase as the temperature increases GR

A

because increasing the temperature will increase the average kinetic energy of molecules of the conductor so its firiction with charges increases

18
Q

the specific resistance and conductivity are carctrized in matter GR

A

bec they depends on kind of material and temperature only

19
Q

the temperature of a wire increases when the electric current pass through it GR

A

duto the friction force between the moulcules of the conductor and the electron ( ohmic reistance ) that causes loses in electric energy in form of thermal energy

20
Q

It is advisple to use thick wire of copper when a strong current passes GR

A

bec it has low ohmic resistance and copper has high conductivity and low resistivity also thick wire has low resistance [R=PxL\A ⇒R&1\A] that will minmize loses in electric energy inform of thermal energy to prevent melting of wire

21
Q

conductivity of mercury = 106

A

106 is the recprocal of the resistivity of the material of mercury

22
Q

what is the rule of ratio in the ohmic resisance relathion

A

R1 / R2 = P1 / P2 x L1 / L2 x A2 / A1

23
Q

what meant by specific resistance of cupper = 1.77

A

the resistance = 1.77 when lingth = 1m and cross sectional area = 1 m2 at given temperture

24
Q

what is dosnot change in the wire when it reformed

and if the length doubled and why

A
  1. resistvity and conducitvty
  2. if length is doubled that mean cross section area halved
  3. because vol is constant ( Vol = A x L )
25
Q

the resistance doubled what will happen to current

the current doubled what will happen to resistance

A
  1. decresed to half
  2. no thing
26
Q

what is the ratio of relation of ohmic resistance

and if i tell you the wire is reformed that mean and why

A

R1\R2=P1\P2 x L1\L2 x A1\A2

P1 = P2

if the length doubled the area halved at constant Vol

due to the relation Vol = LxA
