An electrical conductor designed to carry large currents has a circular cross-section 2.50 mm in diameter and is 14.0 m long. The resistance between its ends is 0.104 Ω0.104\ \Omega . a. What is the resistivity of the material? b. If the electric field magnitude in the conductor is 1.28 V/m1.28\ \text{V/m} , what is the total current? c. If the material has 8.5×10288.5 \times 10^{28} free electrons per cubic metre, find the average drift speed under the conditions of part (b).
