A small but measurable current of 3.8 × 10-10 A exists in a copper wire whose diameter is 2.5 mm. The number of charge carriers

Karolina [17]

Answer:

a) 4.9*10^-6

b) 5.71*10^-15

Explanation:

Given

current, I = 3.8*10^-10A

Diameter, D = 2.5mm

n = 8.49*10^28

The equation for current density and speed drift is

J = I/A = (ne) Vd

A = πD²/4

A = π*0.0025²/4

A = π*6.25*10^-6/4

A = 4.9*10^-6

Now,

J = I/A

J = 3.8*10^-10/4.9*10^-6

J = 7.76*10^-5

Electron drift speed is

J = (ne) Vd

Vd = J/(ne)

Vd = 7.76*10^-5/(8.49*10^28)*(1.60*10^-19)

Vd = 7.76*10^-5/1.3584*10^10

Vd = 5.71*10^-15

Therefore, the current density and speed drift are 4.9*10^-6

And 5.71*10^-15 respectively

The energy levels of a particular quantum object are -11.7 eV, -4.2 eV, and -3.3 eV. If a collection of these objects is bombard

gogolik [260]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply an energy balance equation in each of the states to assess what their respective relationship is.

By definition the energy balance is simply given by the change between the two states:

$|\Delta E_{ij}| = |E_i-E_j|$

Our states are given by

$E_1 = -11.7eV$

$E_2 = -4.2eV$

$E_3 = -3.3eV$

In this way the energy balance for the states would be given by,

$|\Delta E_{12}| = |E_1-E_2|\\|\Delta E_{12}| = |-11.7-(-4.2)|\\|\Delta E_{12}| = 7.5eV\\$

$|\Delta E_{13}| = |E_1-E_3|\\|\Delta E_{13}| = |-11.7-(-3.3)|\\|\Delta E_{13}| = 8.4eV$

$|\Delta E_{23}| = |E_2-E_3|\\|\Delta E_{23}| = |-4.2-(-3.3)|\\|\Delta E_{23}| = 0.9eV$

Therefore the states of energy would be

Lowest : 0.9eV

Middle :7.5eV

Highest: 8.4eV
