Question: A straight cylindrical wire lying along the x axis has a length of 0 . 5 0 0 m and a diameter of 0 .

A straight cylindrical wire lying along the x axis has a length of 0.500 m and a diameter of 0.200 mm. It is made of a material that obeys Ohm's law with a resistivity =4.00 x 10-8 m. Suppose that a potential of 4.00 V is maintained at x =0 and that at x =0.500 m, V =0. Determine (a) the electric field of the wire, (b) its resistance, (c) the electric current that passes through the wire and (d) the current density J of the wire. Express the direction of the electric field and current. (e) Show that E =J.
