b)1.32*10^-1n/C.

Please show work. Thanks

2. An inductance-capacitance (LC) circuit in 1, for an oscillating mass m on the spring (constant k) in 2 and for a simple pendulum of length l in 3, the quantities that have the common unit of "Hertz" are:

It should be

a) sqrt(LC), sqrt(m/k), sqrt(g/l)

b)sqrt(1/LC), sqrt(k/m), sqrt(g/l)

c)sqrt(1/LC), sqrt(m/k), sqrt(l/g)

Please show work. Thanks

Explanation / Answer

here,

length of wire , l = 1 m

cross sectional area = 2 mm^2 = 2 * 10^-6 m^2

current , I = 10 A

resistivity , p = 2.63 * 10^-8 ohm.m

the potential difference , V = R * I

V = p * l /area * I

the electric feild , E = V/l

E = p * I /area

E = 2.63 * 10^-8 * 10 /( 2 * 10^-6) V/m

E = 1.32 * 10^-1 N/C

the electric feild is b) 1.32 * 10^-1 N/C
