A small but measurable current of 3.8 × 10-10 A exists in a copper wire whose diameter is 2.5 mm. The number of charge carriers

per unit volume is 8.49 × 1028 m-3. Assuming the current is uniform, calculate the (a) current density and (b) electron drift speed.

Answer:

a) 4.9*10^-6

b) 5.71*10^-15

Explanation:

Given

current, I = 3.8*10^-10A

Diameter, D = 2.5mm

n = 8.49*10^28

The equation for current density and speed drift is

J = I/A = (ne) Vd

A = πD²/4

A = π*0.0025²/4

A = π*6.25*10^-6/4

A = 4.9*10^-6

Now,

J = I/A

J = 3.8*10^-10/4.9*10^-6

J = 7.76*10^-5

Electron drift speed is

J = (ne) Vd

Vd = J/(ne)

Vd = 7.76*10^-5/(8.49*10^28)*(1.60*10^-19)

Vd = 7.76*10^-5/1.3584*10^10

Vd = 5.71*10^-15

Therefore, the current density and speed drift are 4.9*10^-6

And 5.71*10^-15 respectively

lana [24]
<span>The correct answer is D) 12 protons and no electrons. This is correct because the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom is 12. The number of protons in the nucleus represents the atomic number. Therefore if there are 12 protons in the nucleus, the atomic number is 12.</span>
