The diameter of the wire is 18μm and the closest answer is option C.

The resistance of a wire is proportional to its length and inversely proportional to its area.

Given that a 4.0 m length of gold wire is connected to a 1.5 V battery, and a current of 4.0 mA flows through it. Then,

R = (ρL)/A

where

ρ = resistivity = 2.44 × 10-8 Ω·m

L = length

A = Area = $\pi ^{2}$ D/2

D = diameter of the wire

From Ohm's law, V = IR

make resistance R the subject of the formula

R = V/I

R = 1.5/4 x $10^{-3}$

R = 375 Ω

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

R = (ρL)/A

375 = (2.44 × $10^{-8}$ x 4)/A

A = (9.76 × $10^{-8}$ )/ 375

A = 2.603 x $10^{-10}$ $m^{2}$

but

A = $\pi (D/2)^{2}$

2.603 x $10^{-10}$ = $\pi (D/2)^{2}$

$\pi$ $D^{2}$ /4 = 2.603 x $10^{-10}$

$\pi$ $D^{2}$ = 1.04 x $10^{-9}$

$D^{2}$ = (1.04 x $10^{-9}$ )/ $\pi$

D = $\sqrt{3.3 * 10^{-10} }$

D = 1.8 x $10^{-5}$ m

D = 18 μm

Therefore, the diameter of the wire is 18μm and the closest answer is option C.

Answer from: kathiaflores1215

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of gold wire, l = 4 m

Voltage of battery, V = 1.5 V

Current, I = 4 mA

The resistivity of gold, $\rho=2.44\times 10^{-8}\ \Omega-m$

Resistance in terms of resistivity is given by :

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

Also, V = IR

So,

$\dfrac{V}{I}=\dfrac{\rho l}{A}$

A is area of wire,

$\dfrac{V}{I}=\dfrac{\rho l}{\pi r^2}$ , r is radius, r = d/2 (diameter=d)

$\dfrac{V}{I}=\dfrac{\rho l}{\pi (d/2)^2}\\\\\dfrac{V}{I}=\dfrac{4\rho l}{\pi d^2}\\\\d=\sqrt{\dfrac{4\rho l I}{V\pi}} \\\\d=\sqrt{\dfrac{4\times 2.44\times 10^{-8}\times 4\times 4\times 10^{-3}}{1.5\times \pi}} \\\\d=18.2\ \mu m$

Out of four option, near option is (C) 17 μm.

Acetic acid /əˈsiːtɪk/, systematically named ethanoic acid /ˌɛθəˈnoʊɪk/, is a colourless liquid organic compound with the chemical formula ch3cooh (also written as ch3co2h or c2h4o2). when undiluted, it is sometimes called glacial acetic acid. vinegar is no less than 4% acetic acid by volume, making acetic acid the main component of vinegar apart from water. acetic acid has a distinctive sour taste and pungent smell. in addition to household vinegar, it is mainly produced as a precursor to polyvinyl acetate and cellulose acetate. it is classified as a weak acid since it only partially dissociates in solution, but concentrated acetic acid is corrosive and can attack the skin.acetic acidnamespreferred iupac nameacetic acidsystematic iupac nameethanoic acidother namesvinegar (when dilute); hydrogen acetate; methanecarboxylic acid[1][2]identifierscas number64-19-7 3d model (jsmol)interactive image3dmetb00009 reference506007chebichebi: 15366 chemblchembl539 chemspider171 drugbankdb03166 echa infocard100.000.528ec number200-580-7e numbere260 (preservatives)gmelin reference1380iuphar/bps1058keggd00010 meshacetic+acidpubchem cid176rtecs numberaf1225000uniiq40q9n063p un number2789inchiinchi=1s/c2h4o2/c1-2(3)4/h1h3,(h,3,4) key: qtbsbxvteameqo-uhfffaoysa-n smilescc(o)=o
