A current of 5A is passing through a non-linear magnesium wire of cross – section 0.04m2. At every point the direction of current density is at an angle of 60° ;with unit vector of area of cross-section. The magnitude of electric field at every point of the conductor is: (Resistivity of magnesium ρ = 4 4 * 1 0 8 Ω m )

Correct Option - 3
Detailed Solution:

l = J A c o s θ 5 = J * 0 . 0 4 * c o s 6 0 ° J = 5 0 . 0 2 = 2 5 0 A / m 2

J = E ρ E = ρ J = 4 4 * 1 0 8 * 2 5 0 = 1 1 * 1 0 5 V / m

In first condition R1 = 36 Ω  

In second condition R2 = 18  Ω

P 1 = V 2 R 1 = ( 2 4 0 ) 2 3 6               

P 2 = V 2 R 2 + V 2 R 2 = ( 2 4 0 ) 2 1 8 + ( 2 4 0 ) 2 1 8               

P 2 = ( 2 4 0 ) 2 9               

So   P 1 P 2 = ( 2 4 0 ) 2 / 3 6 ( 2 4 0 ) 2 / 9 = 1 4
