What diameter should you make a copper wire so its resistance is 0.015 Ω per meter of length ?
The resistance R of a copper wire with the length l can be calculated with the following formula:
where
R = resistance (ohms, Ω)
ρ = resistivity (ohm meter, Ω m) Resistivity Copper: 1.7 x 10-8 Ω m
l = length of conductor (m)
A = cross-sectional area of conductor (m2)
d = the nominal diameter of the wire
We have:
Rl=0.015 Ωm
\boxed{\dfrac{R}{l}= \dfrac{4\cdot \rho}{\pi \cdot d^2}} = 0.015\ \frac{\Omega}{m}\\\\ \dfrac{4\cdot \rho}{\pi \cdot d^2}} = 0.015\ \frac{\Omega}{m}\\\\ d^2 = \dfrac{4\cdot \rho}{\pi \cdot0.015\ \frac{\Omega}{m}}} \quad | \quad \rho_{copper} = 1.7 \cdot 10^{-8}\ \Omega\ m\\\\\\ d^2 = \dfrac{4\cdot 1.7 \cdot 10^{-8}\ \Omega\ m}{\pi \cdot0.015\ \frac{\Omega}{m}}} \quad | \quad \sqrt{} \\\\\\ d = 2 \cdot 10^{-4} \sqrt{ \dfrac{1.7}{\pi\cdot 0.015} }\ m \\\\ d = 0.00120125135\ \mathrm{m} \\ d = 1.2\ \mathrm{mm}
