What is the cross-sectional area of a 25 m long nickel conductor with a resistance of 5 ohms?

To find the value of the cross-sectional area of the specified nickel conductor, we apply the formula: R = ρн * l / S and S = ρн * l / R.

Constants and variables: ρн – specific electrical resistance of nickel (we take ρн = 0.4 Ohm * mm2 / m); l – conductor length (l = 25 m); R – resistance (R = 5 ohms).

Calculation: S = ρн * l / R = 0.4 * 25/5 = 2 mm2.

Answer: The cross-sectional area of the specified nickelin conductor is 2 mm2.
