At what speed does a typical electron pass by any given point in the wire?

1 answer:

7 0

A 5.00 A current runs through a 12 gauge copper wire (diameter 2.05 mm) and through a light bulb. Copper has 8.5*10^28 free electrons per cubic metre.

a) How many electrons pass through the light bulb each second?

b) What is the current density in the wire? (answer in A/m^2)

<span>c) At what speed does a typical electron pass by any given point in the wire? (answer in m/s)

</span>a) 5.0 A = 5.0 C/s
. Number of electrons in 5.0C = 5.0 / 1.60^-19 = 3.125^19
. 5.0 A ►= 3.125^19 electrons/s

b) A/m² = 5.0 / π(1.025^-3 m)² .. .. ►= 1.52^6 A/m²

c) Charge density (q/m³) = 8.50^28 e/m³ x 1.60^-19 = 1.36^10 C/m³

(q/m³)(m²)(m/s) = q/s (current i in C/s [A])
(m²) = Area
(m/s) = mean drift speed

(q/m³)(A)(v) = i

v = i.[(q/m³)A]ˉ¹

<span>v = 5.0 [1.36^10 * π(1.025^-3 m)²]ˉ¹.. .. ►v = 1.10^-4 m/s</span>

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Power is 1061.67W

Explanation:

Power=force×distance/time

Power=65×9.8×15/9 assuming gravity=9.8m/s²

Power=3185/3=1061.67W

A thermally isolated system is made up of a hot piece of aluminum and a cold piece of copper; the aluminum and the copper are in

butalik [34]

Answer:

copper will have more change in temperature as compare with aluminum

Explanation:

Hot piece of copper is made in contact with cold piece of aluminium

So here thermal energy transfer will take place from copper to aluminium

so by energy conservation we can say that heat given by copper is same as the heat absorbed by aluminium.

now we have

$m_1s_1\Delta T_1 = m_2s_2\Delta T_2$

here we know that

$s_1$ = specific heat capacity of copper

$s_2$ = specific heat capacity of aluminum

given that specific heat capacity of aluminium is more than double that of copper

so we can say

$s_2 = 2s_1$

so here if the mass of copper and aluminium is same then

$\Delta T_1 = 2 \Delta T_2$

so temperature change of copper is twice the temperature change of aluminium

So copper will have more change in temperature as compare with aluminum

When making a turn, do not have the steering wheel turned in the direction of the turn before beginning the turning maneuver.a)

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

a) True.

Explanation:

If you turn the wheel in the direction of the turn before beginning the turning maneuver then it's possible that there might be not enough space available for turning and also if you are waiting for the traffic to get clear with rear ended then it will get pushed forward onto the coming traffic.
