Homework Statement
A disk with width b and radius a.
An element of resistance is:
[tex]dR=\rho \frac{2\pi r}{bdr}[/tex]
How do I integrate this?
Thanks in advance.
The formula for calculating resistance of a disk is R = ρL/A, where R is the resistance, ρ is the resistivity of the material, L is the length of the disk, and A is the cross-sectional area of the disk.
The resistivity of a material can be found in a table of material properties or can be calculated using the formula ρ = RA/L, where ρ is the resistivity, R is the resistance, A is the cross-sectional area, and L is the length of the material.
No, the resistance of a disk cannot be negative. Resistance is a measure of how difficult it is for electric current to flow through a material, and it can only have positive values.
The SI unit for resistance is ohms (Ω), named after the German physicist Georg Ohm. It can also be expressed in units of volts per ampere (V/A).
The calculated resistance of a disk can be used in various practical applications, such as designing electrical circuits, determining power dissipation, and selecting appropriate materials for different components. It is an important factor to consider in any system that involves the flow of electric current.
