(a)Write the relationship between resistivity and resistance of a cylindrical conductor of length $\displaystyle l$ and area of cross-section A. Hence derive the SI unit of resistivity.(b)Why are alloys used in electrical heating devices ?
(a)
Write the relationship between resistivity and resistance of a cylindrical conductor of length $\displaystyle l$ and area of cross-section A. Hence derive the SI unit of resistivity.
(b)
Why are alloys used in electrical heating devices ?
Marking-scheme solution
(a)
\(\displaystyle \mathrm{R}=\rho \frac{l}{A}\)
\(\displaystyle \rho=\frac{R A}{l}\)
SI unit of \(\displaystyle \rho=\frac{\text { ohm } \text { × }(\text { metre })^{2}}{\text { metre }}\)
= ohm meter
(b)
Resistivity of alloy is higher than pure metals. / They do not oxidise (burn) readily at high temperatures.
