Problem

An aluminum ribbon conductor is 2.0 mm2.0\,\text{mm} wide and 0.10 mm0.10\,\text{mm} thick. When connected to a 12 V12\,\text{V} power supply it carries a steady current of 8.0 A8.0\,\text{A}. Approximately how long is the ribbon? (Resistivity of aluminum =2.8×10−8 Ω ⁣⋅ ⁣m= 2.8\times10^{-8}\,\Omega\!\cdot\!\text{m}.) a) 110 m110\,\text{m} b) 4.9 m4.9\,\text{m} c) 11 m11\,\text{m} d) 1.1 m1.1\,\text{m}
