- a copper conductor of length 10cm and radius 1.5mm is connected in parallel to an ammeter having a resistance of 0.03ohm. find the current in the circuit if the ammeter indicates 0.4A . the resistivity of copper is 1.78 * 10-8 .
Resistance of the copper rod:
As the ammeter and the copper rod are parallel to each other, thus the potential drop across them is equal.
