The Nichrome wire is replaced by a wire of the same length and diameter, and same mobile electron density but with electron mobi
2 answers:
Answer:
The electric field inside the wire will remain the same or constant, while the drift velocity will by a factor of four.
Explanation:
Electron mobility, μ =
where
= Drift velocity
E = Electric field
Given that the electric field strength = 1.48 V/m,
Therefore since the electric potential depends on the length of the wire and the attached potential difference, then when the electron mobility is increased 4 times the Electric field E will be the same but the drift velocity will increase four times. That is
4·μ =

We can solve the problem by requiring the equilibrium of the forces and the equilibrium of torques.
1) Equilibrium of forces:
where
is the weight of the person
is the weight of the scaffold
Re-arranging, we can write the equation as
(1)
2) Equilibrium of torques:
where 3 m and 2 m are the distances of the forces from the center of mass of the scaffold.
Using
and replacing T1 with (1), we find
from which we find
And then, substituting T2 into (1), we find
