necessary?
27. (1) The potential difference between the terminals of
an electric heater is 60 V when it draws a current of 4 A from the source. What
current will the heater draw if the potential difference is increased to 120 V?
(2) Resistance
of a metal wire of length 1 m is 26 Ω at 20°C. If the diameter of the wire is
0.3 mm, what will be the resistivity of the metal at that temperature? Using
Table 12.2, predict the material of the wire.
