Why does the current is reduced as electrons move through a conductor

1 answer:

3 0

Because the electrons collide with the particles inside the conductor so are therefore slowed down seen as current is the rate of flow of electrons

A short current element dl⃗ = (0.500 mm)j^ carries a current of 5.40 A in the same direction as dl⃗ . Point P is located at r⃗ =

SashulF [63]

Answer:

The magnetic field along x axis is

$B_{x}=1.670\times10^{-10}\ T$

The magnetic field along y axis is zero.

The magnetic field along z axis is

$B_{z}=3.484\times10^{-10}\ T$

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of the current element $dl=(0.5\times10^{-3})j$

Current in y direction = 5.40 A

Point P located at $\vec{r}=(-0.730)i+(0.390)k$

The distance is

$|\vec{r}|=\sqrt{(0.730)^2+(0.390)^2}$

$|\vec{r}|=0.827\ m$

We need to calculate the magnetic field

Using Biot-savart law

$B=\dfrac{\mu_{0}}{4\pi}\timesI\times\dfrac{\vec{dl}\times\vec{r}}{|\vec{r}|^3}$

Put the value into the formula

$B=10^{-7}\times5.40\times\dfrac{(0.5\times10^{-3})\times(-0.730)i+(0.390)k}{(0.827)^3}$

We need to calculate the value of $\vec{dl}\times\vec{r}$

$\vec{dl}\times\vec{r}=(0.5\times10^{-3})\times(-0.730)i+(0.390)k$

$\vec{dl}\times\vec{r}=i(0.350\times0.5\times10^{-3}-0)+k(0+0.730\times0.5\times10^{-3})$

$\vec{dl}\times\vec{r}=0.000175i+0.000365k$

Put the value into the formula of magnetic field

$B=10^{-7}\times5.40\times\dfrac{(0.000175i+0.000365k)}{(0.827)^3}$

$B=1.670\times10^{-10}i+3.484\times10^{-10}k$

Hence, The magnetic field along x axis is

$B_{x}=1.670\times10^{-10}\ T$

The magnetic field along y axis is zero.

The magnetic field along z axis is

$B_{z}=3.484\times10^{-10}\ T$

Use the techniques to find the unit for speed

stellarik [79]

Answer:

The formula for speed is speed=distance

time

Explanation:

to work out what the units are for speed,you need to know the units for distance and time.In this example,distance is in metres(m) and time is in seconds (s) , so the units for speed is metre per second (m/s).

Find the magnitude of the electric field due to a charged ring of radius "a" and total charge "Q", at a point on the ring axis a

34kurt

Answer:

E= $\frac{KQ}{2\sqrt 2a^2}$

Explanation:

We are given that

Charge on ring= Q

Radius of ring=a

We have to find the magnitude of electric filed on the axis at distance a from the ring's center.

We know that the electric field at distance x from the center of ring of radius R is given by

$E=\frac{kQx}{(R^2+x^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}}$

Substitute x=a and R=a

Then, we get

$E=\frac{KQa}{(a^2+a^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}}$

$E=\frac{KQa}{(2a^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}}$

$E=\frac{KQa}{2\sqrt 2a^3}$

$E=\frac{KQ}{2\sqrt 2a^2}$

Where K= $9\times 10^9 Nm^2/C^2$

Hence, the magnitude of the electric filed due to charged ring on the axis of ring at distance a from the ring's center= $\frac{KQ}{2\sqrt 2a^2}$

A force vector points due east and has a magnitude of 140 newtons. A second force is added to . The resultant of the two vectors

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

(a) When the resultant force is pointing along east line, the magnitude and direction of the second force is 280 N East

(b) When the resultant force is pointing along west line, the magnitude and direction of the second force is 560 N West

Explanation:

Given;

a force vector points due east, $F_1$ = 140 N

let the second force = $F_2$

let the resultant of the two vectors = F

(a) When the resultant force is pointing along east line

the second force must be pointing due east

$F = F_1 + F_2\\\\F_2 = F - F_1\\\\F_2 = 420 \ N - 140 \ N\\\\F_2 = 280 \ N$

$F_2 = 280 \ East$

(b) When the resultant force is pointing along west line

the second force must be pointing due west and it must have a greater magnitude compared to the first force in order to have a resultant in west line.

$F = F_2 - F_1\\\\F_2 = F + F_1\\\\F_2 = 420 \ N + 140 \ N\\\\F_2 = 560 \ N$

$F_2 = 560 \ West$
