Question
A wire has a length of 2.0 m and a resistance of 5.0 Ω. Find the electric field existing inside the wire if it carries a current of 10 A.
Solution
Given:-
Length of the wire, l = 2 m
Resistance of the wire, R = 5 Ω
Current through the wire, i = 10 A
From Ohm's Law, the potential difference across the wire,
V = iR
∴ V= 10 × 5 = 50 V
Electric field,
\[E = \frac{V}{l}\]
\[ = \frac{50}{2}\]
\[ = 25 V/m\]

The circuit depicted in the figure is employed for studying Ohm's Law. Instead of using a standard resistor, a student opts for a glass tube filled with mercury (tube 1), connected to the circuit through two electrodes E1 & E2. He records the readings of the ammeter and voltmeter, thereby calculating the resistance. The student repeats the experiment by substituting tube 1 with tube 2, where the same amount of mercury fills the tube 2.
