    Conductance
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the conductance of a graphite-coated paper strip, specifically one measuring 10mm wide and 250mm long with a resistance of 2kΩ. The user seeks to determine the dimensions for a strip that achieves a conductance of 1mA/V. It is clarified that conductance increases with wider strips and decreases with longer strips, which contrasts with the user's initial misunderstanding related to resistance. The correct relationship is that conductance is inversely proportional to length and directly proportional to width. Understanding these principles is crucial for achieving the desired conductance in the specified dimensions.

I have this question whihc is confusing me on Conductance. The Question is Paper uniformly coated with graphite can be electrically conducting. A strip of the coated paper is 10mm wide and 250mm long has a resistance of 2KO (ohms). Sggest dimensions for a strip with conductance 1mA V-1 (little -1 above V, sorry can't remember the name for that :frown: )

Okay this is what I know already which could help me. Conductance is increased with the length of wire (strip) and decreased with the width.

Thanks for your help. :smile:

I think you're looking for this:
\frac {G_1}{G_2} = \frac {L_2}{L_1} \frac {W_1}{W_2}
You have the relationships backward. Conductance will decrease with increasing length and increase with increasing length, assuming constant temperature.
 
Thankyou. I was thinking of Resistance then which is the other way round.
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
