AI Thread Summary
To calculate the internal resistance of a wire, the formula involves the resistivity of the material, which can be found in resources like the CRC Handbook. The resistivity of lead is a key constant needed for these calculations. Users are encouraged to search for wire resistance charts for additional information. A simple Google search can provide bulk resistivity values for lead. Accurate calculations require understanding both the formula and the material properties.

Hi,
I want to know, how we calacute the internal resister for the wire. what is the formula for it, and plase give me the constant for lead matel. to find the internal resister for it.
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
I googled wire resistance chart, and got lots of great hits. Here's the link to the search results:

If you need to know the bulk resistivity of lead, you can just google something like lead bulk resistivity..., or look it up in a CRC Handbook.
 

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
