Question
A thin long wire A has twice the diameter and half the length of wire B. Both wires are made of the same material. (a)
A thin long wire A has twice the diameter and half the length of wire B. Both wires are made of the same material.
(a) If the resistance of wire A equals R, find the resistance of Wire B;
(b) compare the powers Pa/Pb if the two wires are connected to a battery in parallel;
(c) find Pa/Pb if the two resistors (wires) are connected in series.
