What's the cross-sectional area of a grating?

78 Views Asked by At

This is related to the electrical concept of resistance, but in the equation of resistance

$$R = \frac{ρ l}{A}$$

there's the cross-sectional area $A$ of the conductor.

Now if the conductor is a grating

then what's the cross-sectional area of such "flat" object? Is it the area of the object itself?

This is the second Ohm's law.

It's related to electric wires.

$A$ would be the section of the wire, which is usually the area of a circumference.

I believe your question is meaningless since you're understanding $A$ as the normal area of a geometric shape.

That law is related to electric wires.
