Answer:
(a)106.4C
b)0.5676mm
Explanation:
(a)To get the charge that have passed through the starter then The current will be multiplied by the duration
I= current
t= time taken
Q= required charge
Q= I*t = 140*0.760 = 106.C
(b) b. How far does an electron travel along the wire while the starter motor is on?(mm)
diameter of the conductor is 4.20 mm
But Radius= diameter/2= 4.20/2=
The radius of the conductor is 2.1mm, then if we convert to metre for consistency same then
radius of the conductor is 0.0021m.
We can now calculate the area of the conductor which is
A = π*r^2
= π*(0.0021)^2 = 13.85*10^-6 m^2
We can proceed to calculate the current density below
J = 140/13.85*10^-6 = 10108303A/m
According to the listed reference:
Where e= 1.6*10^-19
n= 8.46*10^28
Vd = J/(n*e) = 10108303/ ( 8.46*10^28 * 1.6*10^-19 ) =0.0007468m/s=0 .7468 mm/s
Therefore , the distance traveled is:
x = v*t = 0.7468 * 0.760 = 0.5676mm
