24. (Ill) A 10.0-m length of wire consists of 5.0m of copper followed by 5.0 m of aluminum, both of diameter 1.0 mm. A voltage difference of 85 mV is placed across the composite wire, (a) What is the total resistance (sum) of the twro wires? (b) What is the current through the wire? (c) What are the voltages across the aluminum part and across the copper part?
Solution
The first step in solving 18 problem number 24 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: 24. (Ill) A 10.0-m length of wire consists of 5.0m of copper followed by 5.0 m of aluminum, both of diameter 1.0 mm. A voltage difference of 85 mV is placed across the composite wire, (a) What is the total resistance (sum) of the twro wires? (b) What is the current through the wire? (c) What are the voltages across the aluminum part and across the copper part?
From the textbook chapter Electric Currents you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
