Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

If a material behaves like an insulator with a resistivity of 1 × 10^7 ohm-m, how might its resistivity change if the temperature increases significantly? Provide reasoning.

💡 Hint: Consider the relationship between particle movement and conductivity.

Challenge 2 Hard

A 15-meter long wire has a cross-sectional area of 3 mm² and a resistivity of 5 x 10^-8 ohm-m. Calculate the resistance and discuss how altering the length or area would affect it.

💡 Hint: Rely on the resistance formula for calculations while recalling how dimensions influence resistance.
