Question

A conductor of uniform cross section and 60m long has a voltage drop of 1.2 V and a current densityof $2.56 \times 10^{5} A / m^{2}$ . The conductivity of the material in the conductor is___ $\times 10^{4} S / m$
1.28

Solution

The correct option is A 1.28
According to the Ohm’s law,

$J = σ E$

Here, $J = 2.56 \times 10^{5} A / m^{2}$

$E = \frac{V}{l} = \frac{1.2}{60} = 0.02 V / m$

Conductivity of material ,

$σ = \frac{J}{E} = \frac{2.56 \times 10^{5}}{0.02} = 128 \times 10^{5} S / m$

$= 1.28 \times 10^{7} S / m$
