When \(5~\text{V}\) potential difference is applied across a wire of length \(0.1~\text{m}\), the drift speed of electrons is \(2.5\times 10^{-4}~\text{ms}^{-1}\). If the electron density in the wire is \(8\times 10^{28}~\text{m}^{-3}\), the resistivity of the material is close to:
1. \(1.6 \times 10^{-8}~\Omega\text-\text{m}\)
2. \(1.6 \times 10^{-7}~\Omega\text-\text{m}\)
3. \(1.6 \times 10^{-6}~\Omega\text-\text{m}\)
4. \(1.6 \times 10^{-5}~\Omega\text-\text{m}\)

A current through a wire depends on time as \(i=\alpha_0t+\beta t^2\) where \(\alpha_0=20~\mathrm{A/s}\) and \(\beta =8~\mathrm{As^{-2}}\). The charge crossed through a cross-section of wire in \(15~\mathrm{s}\) is:
1. \(2250~\mathrm{C}\)
2. \(11250~\mathrm{C}\)
3. \(2100~\mathrm{C}\)
4. \(260~\mathrm{C}\)
A cylindrical wire with a radius of \(0.5\text{ mm}\) and electrical conductivity of \(5\times 10^7\text{ S/m} \) is subjected to a uniform electric field of \(10\text{ milivolts per meter}.\) What is the expected current flowing through the wire?
