Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

You have a copper wire of 1 mm² cross-sectional area and 10 m length. Calculate its resistance at 25°C. Then, calculate what its resistance would be at 75°C, giving α = 0.004/°C.

💡 Hint: Consider calculating resistance at both conditions step by step.

Challenge 2 Hard

A 120Ω resistor is connected in series with a 240Ω resistor to a 12V battery. Calculate the total current flowing through the circuit.

💡 Hint: Remember to sum the resistance before applying Ohm's Law.
