Household wiring often uses 2.0 mm diameter copper wires. The wires can get rather long as they snake through the walls from the fuse box to the farthest corners of your house. What is the potential difference across a 17 m long, 2.0 mm diameter copper wire carrying an 8.5 A current?  (Resistivity of copper = 1.7 x 10-8 

a) How long must a 0.52 mm diameter aluminum wire be to have a 0.44 A current when connected to the terminals of a 1.5 V flashlight battery? (Resistivity of aluminum = 2.8 x 10-8

A water molecule perpendicular to an electric field has 3.70×10−22 J more potential energy than a water molecule aligned with the field. The dipole moment of a water molecule is 6.2 x 10-30 Cm. What is the strength of the electric field?
