Step 1:

1.3.1).

Length of the aluminium conductor is 1 km=1000 m.

The diameter of the aluminum wire is d1= 3 mm.

Since the length are same, the length of the copper wire is 1 km.

Specific resistivity of the aluminum is .

Specific resistivity of the copper .

Total current in the circuit is it = 350 A.

Current through copper wire is i2 = 150 A.

The aluminum wire and copper wire are connected in parallel.

Total Current = i1 + i2 .

350 = i1 + 150

i1  =350 - 150

i1 = 200 A.

Current through aluminum wire is  i1 = 200 A.

Step 2:

Law of Resistivity:

Resistance offered by a conductor is given by .

Resistance offered by aluminum wire is .

Area of the aluminum wire is  .

Resistance offered by aluminum wire is .

Resistance offered by copper wire is .

Area of the copper wire is .

Resistance offered by copper wire is .

Ratio of the resistance is

Step 1:

(1.3.2)

Specific resistivity of the aluminum .

Specific resistivity of the copper .

Voltage drop across the aluminum is .

Current through aluminum wire is  i1 = 200 A.

The diameter of the aluminum wire is d1 = 3 mm.

Resistance offered by aluminum wire is .

Resistance offered by aluminum is .

Voltage drop across the aluminum:

Voltage drop across the aluminum is 792.2 v.

In a parallel combination, the voltage across both the elements are same.

Voltage drop across the copper is also 792.2 v.

Solution:

Voltage drop across the conductors is 792.2 v.

Step 1:

A coil has a resistance 300 ohms at C.

Here, ohms and C.

Temperature coefficient of the resistance C .

Thus, C.

Find increase in the resistance of the coil, if the motor reaches C.

C.

Substitute corresponding values in the above expression.

Increased resistance is 12 ohms.

Solution:

Increased resistance is 12 ohms.
