Correct Answer - Option 3 : 50A
Concept:
-
Electrical conductance (K): The reciprocal of electrical resistance is called conductance.
-
It is a measure of how easily current can flow through a material.
- Its SI unit is Siemens.
Electrical conductance (K) = 1/R
-
Electrical resistance (R): The electrical resistance of a material refers to its opposition to the flow of current.
Calculations:
Given that, v = 10 V, K = 5Ω-1
As we know the electrical conductance (K) is given by
K = 1/R....(i)
And by ohms law, we have V = IR, i.e, R = V/I
Substituting the value of R in equation (i)
\( K = \frac{I}{V}\ \)
So, K × V = I
I = 5 × 10 = 50 Ampere
The current through the conductor is 50 A.
