The length of the copper wire, which flows the current of 0.96 amps at a potential difference of 15 v is 141.1 meters.

What is Ohm's law?

Ohm's law states that for a flowing current, the potential difference of the circuit is directly proportional to the current flowing in it. Thus,

$V\propto I$

Here, (V) is the potential difference, and (I)is the current.

It can be written as,

V=IR

Here, (R) is the resistance of the circuit.

The current of 0.96 amps flows through a copper wire when connected to a potential difference of 15 v. Thus, by using the above formula of ohm's law, the resistance of the wire can be found out as,

$15=0.96R\\R=15.6\rm ohm$

Now, the resistance of a metal wire can be given as,

$R=\dfrac{\rho L}{A}$

Here, ( $\rho$ ) is the resistivity of a wire (L) is the length of a wire, and A is the cross-sectional area of it.

As the resistivity of a copper wire is $1.68\times10^{-8}\rm ohm-m$ and the diameter of the wire is 0.44 mm. Thus, put the values in the above formula as,

$15.6=\dfrac{1.68\times10^{-8} L}{\pi \times\dfrac{(0.44)^2}{4}}\\L=141.1\rm m$

Thus, the length of the copper wire, which flows the current of 0.96 amps at a potential difference of 15 v is 141.1 meters.

Answer from: timothycarter342

By using Ohm's law, we can calculate the resistance of the wire. Ohm's law states that:
V=IR

where V is the potential difference across the conductor, I is the current and R the resistance. Rearranging the equation, we get
$R= \frac{V}{I}= \frac{15 V}{0.96 A}=15.6 \Omega$

Now we can use the following equation to calculate the length of the wire:
$R= \frac{\rho L}{A}$ (1)
where
$\rho$ is the resistivity of the material
L is the length of the conductor
A is its cross-sectional area
In this problem, we have a wire of copper, with resistivity $\rho=1.68 \cdot 10^{-8} \Omega m$ . The radius of the wire is half the diameter:
$r= \frac{d}{2}= \frac{0.44 mm}{2}=0.22 mm=0.22 \cdot 10^{-3} m$
And the cross-sectional area is
$A=\pi r^2=\pi (0.22 \cdot 10^{-3}m)^2=1.52 \cdot 10^{-7} m^2$

So now we can rearrange eq.(1) to calculate the length of the wire:
$L= \frac{RA}{\rho}= \frac{(15.6 \Omega)(1.52 \cdot 10^{-7} m^2)}{1.68 \cdot 10^{-8} \Omega m}=141.1 m$

Iread this book last year so take this with a grain of salt.gene jumps from the tree to compete with finny due to the fact that gene is always trying to do better than finny. he is put under the grasp of peer pressure due to finny almost forcing him to do this. ever since he first jumped finny kept pressuring him to jump since he thought gene enjoyed jumping.rather than uses this answer you should probably just reread chapters 3-4

here are some information of the future of geothermal energy:

-the future of geothermal energy can pretty much be summed up with a single word: more

-scientists plan in going deeper than 120 meters

-we are hoping that one day, we will get all of our energy from renewable energy sources such as geothermal energy

hope this !
