An aluminium wire carrying a current has diameter 0.84 mm0.84\,\mathrm{mm}. The electric field in the wire is 0.49 V/m0.49\,\mathrm{V/m}. What is Specific resistance of aluminium is 2.75×10−8 Ω⋅m2.75 \times 10^{-8}\,\Omega \cdot \mathrm{m}. a. the current carried by the wire? b. the potential difference between two points in the wire 12.0 m12.0 \text{ m} apart? c. the resistance of a 12.0 m12.0 \text{ m} length of this wire?
