of 0.70mm and with the length of 30m if the resistance is 3ohm?

the same, what is the new resistance of the wire?

external load Resistor R. If the battery has an emf of 15V, find the internal
resistance of the battery. Use battery equation.

temperature rise is 55 C above the ambient temperature of 20 0C, calculate the
external resistance which must be initially connected in 0 series with the coil to limit
