What is the number of electrons that move past a point in a wire carrying 500 A of current in 4.0 minutes

The current is defined as the amount of charge Q that passes through a given point of a wire in a time \Delta t:
I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t}
Since I=500 A and the time interval is
\Delta t=4.0 min=240 s
the charge is
Q=I \Delta t=(500 A)(240 s)=1.2 \cdot 10^5 C

One electron has a charge of q=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C, therefore the number of electrons that pass a point in the wire during 4 minutes is
N= \frac{Q}{q}= \frac{1.2 \cdot 10^5 C}{1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C}=7.5 \cdot 10^{23} electrons

Answer:

B)

The magnitude of induced emf in the conducting loop is 0.99 mV.

Explanation:

Rate of increase in magnetic field per unit time = 0.090 T/s

Area of the conducting loop = 110 cm^2 = 0.0110 m^2

Electromagnetic induction is the production of an emf or voltage in a coil of wire due to a changing magnetic field through the coil.

Induced e.m.f is given as:

EMF = (-N*change in magnetic field/time)*Area

EMF = rate of change of magnetic field per unit time * Area

EMF = 0.090 * 0.0110

EMF = 0.00099 V

EMF = 0.99 mV

ryzh [129]

Answer:

(b) The electrons, because they have the smaller momentum and, hence, the larger de Broglie wavelength

Explanation:

de Broglie wavelength λ = h / m v

Since both electrons and protons have same velocity , momentum mv will be less for electrons because mass of electron is less .

for electron , momentum is less so  . Therefore de Broglie wavelength λ will be more for electrons .

Amount of diffraction that is angle of diffraction is proportional to λ

Therefore electrons having greater de Broglie wavelength will show greater diffraction.

Sound waves cannot travel in
julsineya [31]

Answer:

The answer is D.  A Vacumn

Explanation:

Sound cannot travel through a vacuum. A vacuum is an area without any air, like space. So sound cannot travel through space because there is no matter for the vibrations to work in.
