The current through wire problem has been resolved, confirming that the resistance of 19.74 ohms for a voltage of 15 V and current of 0.76 A is accurate. The resistivity for copper is also validated, and the formula R = ρ(L/A) is correctly applied. The calculations appear to be correct, with a diameter of 0.44 mm leading to a radius of 0.22 mm. It was noted that the instructor had to revise the values used for copper. The issue is now considered solved.

Problem solved, never mind! Thank you for your help though, Astronuc!

Problem solved. The instructor had to edit something since it used another value for copper.

(a) The polarisation pattern is elliptical with maximum (1,1) and minimum (-1,-1), and anticlockwise in direction. (b) I know the solution is a quarter-wave plate oriented π/4, and half-wave plate at π/16, but don't understand how to reach there. I've obtained the polarisation vector (cos π/8, isin π/8) so far. I can't find much online guidance or textbook material working through this topic, so I'd appreciate any help I can get. Also, if anyone could let me know where I can get more...
