You Can Pay a Lot of Money for Fancy Connecting ρ\rho

Question 43

Multiple Choice

You can pay a lot of money for fancy connecting cables between your audio/video equipment components.Some of the more expensive ones use silver wire rather than copper.Calculate the difference in resistance between a silver and a copper cable with the same 12-gauge diameter of 2.05 mm and length of 3 m (hence total length = 6m) .(Use ρ\rho (Cu) = 1.7 ×\times 10-8 Ω\Omega /m and ρ\rho (Ag) = 1.6 ×\times 10-8 Ω\Omega /m.Unfortunately (or fortunately) ,there are many other factors that go into making an interconnect cable than simple resistance considerations.)


A) 4.1 ×\times 10-3 Ω\Omega
B) 1.8 ×\times 10-3 Ω\Omega
C) 2.9 ×\times 10-2 Ω\Omega
D) 9.0 ×\times 10-4 Ω\Omega
E) 3.1 ×\times 10-2 Ω\Omega
