A metal wire is 4.0 m and square cross-sectional area is 1.00 mm2. Resistivity of material of wire is 1.0/1000000 ohm metre. The wire is closely wound on a uniform wooden cylinder. If there are 100 coils which are in perfect contact witn one other,estimate the equivalent resistance of the arrangement. What is the arrangement like?
by solution:
Length of the coil=100*square root of 1/1000000 =0.1m
A=4*(1/1000000)/0.1=4/100000 m2
R=(1/1000000)*(0.1)/(4/1000000)=2.5/1000 ohm
But why?
