An electrical cable consists of 125 strands of fine wire, each having 2.65 m0 resistance. The same potential difference is applied between the ends of all the strands and results in a total current of 0.750 A. (a) What is the current in each strand

Respuesta :

Answer:

I = 6 mA

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of strands are 125

Resistance of each strand is 2.65 mΩ

The same potential difference is applied between the ends of all the strands and results in a total current of 0.750 A.

We need to find the current in each strand.

Total current is 0.75 A

Number of strands are 125

So, current in each strand :

[tex]I=\dfrac{0.75}{125}\\\\I=0.006\ A\\\\I=6\ mA[/tex]

So, 6 mA of current flows in each strand.
