A hollow cylinder is .012 m long and has an inner radius of 0.005 m and an outer radius of .0175 m. Treat each surface (inner, outer, and the two end faces) as an equipotential surface.
Resistivity of material making the cylinder = 9.68 x 10^-8 Ohm*m
1. At room temperature, what will an ohmmeter read if it is connected between the inner and outer surfaces?
R=rho/(2pi*L) (ln (b/a))
My professor worked this problem out and got 851 Ohms but I cannot figure out how.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
