Problem P. 4453. (May 2012)

P. 4453. The density of the energy of the electric field inside a straight cylinder shaped metal rod is constant, its magnitude is w_{\text{el.}}= 2\cdot 10^{-17} J/m3; the density of the energy of the magnetic field inside the rod at a distance of r=2 cm from the symmetry axis of the rod is w_{\text{magn.}}= 0.4 J/m3.

a) What is the resistivity of the material of the rod?

b) What kind of metal was the rod made of?

Sorry, the solution is available only in Hungarian. Google translation

Megoldásvázlat. a) \varrho=\frac{r}{2} \sqrt{\frac{\mu_{0}}{\varepsilon_{0}}\,\frac{w_{\rm el.}}{w_{\rm magn.}}}\approx 2{,}6\cdot 10^{-8}\,\Omega\,\rm m.

b) Alumíniumból.
