Q.

A hollow cylindrical conductor has length of 3.14 m, while its inner and outer diameters are 4 mm and 8 mm respectively. The resistance of the conductor is n×10-3Ω. If the resistivity of the material is 2.4×10-8Ω m, the value of n is ________.                 [2023]


Ans.

(2)

R=ρlA, the cross-sectional area is π(b2-a2)

R=ρlπ(b2-a2)=2.4×10-8×3.143.14×(42-22)×10-6=2×10-3 Ω

n=2
