Question: When you connect a 3 0 cm long copper wire to a certain battery, the current through the wire is 1 . 5 A .

When you connect a 30 cm long copper wire to a certain battery, the current through the wire is 1.5 A. You then connect three of these batteries end to end and attach a 15 cm long bronze wire to them. This bronze has a resistivity that is three times larger than copper's. If the bronze wire has a diameter that is half the copper wire's, what is the current through the bronze wire? A.9 A B.1.5 A C.0.25 A D.0.75 A E.4.5 A
