Answer to Question #95402 in Electric Circuits for Jemimah Cruz

Question

A coil of annealed copper wire has 820 loops, the average length of which is 22.86 cm. If the diameter of the wire is 32 mils, calculate the total resistance of the coil at 20 degree celsius.

Answer 1

$$R=N\rho \frac{l}{A}=4N\rho \frac{l}{\pi d^2}$$

$$R=4(820)(1.72\cdot 10^{-8})\frac{0.2286}{\pi (0.032)^2}=0.004\Omega=4m\Omega$$
