Question

Three resistors are made out of three different materials and have different (but uniform) cross-sections. Resistor 1 has a circular cross-section of radius 2.90 mm. Resistor 2 has a square cross section with a side length of 5.62 mm. The third resistor's cross-section is a right triangle with two sides of length 4.53 mm as shown. All of the resistors are 0.613cm in length. Use the provided table of resistivities to calculate the resistance of each resistor. Number R1 = ohm Number R2 = ohm Number R3 = ohm

Explanation / Answer

R1 = 7.03*10^-3 * 0.613*10^-2/ pi * (2.9*10^-3)^2 = 1.63 ohm

R2 = 0.585 * 0.613*10^-2 / (5.62*10^-3)^2 = 113.54 ohms

R3 = 4.63*10^-5 * 0.613*10^-2 / 0.5*4.53*4.53*10^-6 = 0.02766 ohms
