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>

Answer:

(E) Second law of thermodynamics

Explanation:

The second law of thermodynamics can be understood according to Clausius' words: In an isolated system, no process can occur if a decrease in the total entropy of the system is associated with it. These processes are associated with energy transformations, in which a variable is introduced, called entropy that indicates the notion of disorder. Therefore, in any isolated process, the disorder can only grow.

Answer:

c) 8.3 x 10^24 molecules

Explanation:

First of all, we convert the volume of the glass of water from mL to cm^3:

V=250 mL = 250 cm^3

The relationship between mass and volume is:

d=\frac{M}{V}

where

d=1.00 g/cm^3 is the density of water

M is the total mass of the glass of water

V=250 cm^3 is the volume of the water in the glass

Solving for M,

M=dV=(1.00)(250)=250 g = 0.250 kg

Now we know that the mass of a single molecule of water is

m=3.0\cdot 10^{-26}kg

The total mass of the water in the glass can be written as

M=Nm

where

N is the number of molecules in the glass of water

Solving for N, we find:

N=\frac{M}{m}=\frac{0.250}{3.0\cdot 10^{-26}}=8.3\cdot 10^{24}
