Answer

The applied potential difference is $~~1.59\times 10^{-8}~V$

Work Step by Step

To find the current in each strand, we can divide the total current by the number of strands: $i = \frac{0.750~A}{125}$ $i = 6.00\times 10^{-3}~A$ $i = 6.00~mA$ We can find the potential difference: $V = i~R$ $V = (6.00\times 10^{-3}~A)(2.65\times 10^{-6}~\Omega)$ $V = 1.59\times 10^{-8}~V$ The applied potential difference is $~~1.59\times 10^{-8}~V$
