The work done in moving an electron through the 3 ohm resistor is

Physics

Orlov [11]3 years ago

If the 3 ohm resistor is in parallel to the 12 ohm (I can't see it in the image) then the current through it is 12V/3ohm = 4A  Amps are Coulombs/s  The charge on the electron is 1.6e-19C   So 4 amps means 4/1.6e-19 = 2.5e19 electrons/s.
The reciprocal of this gives the number of electrons per second:
1/2.5e19 = 4e-20 s/(elect. charge)
The power in the 3 ohm resistor is 12*4=48W.  This is Joules/sec.  We know it takes on average 4e-20 s to get one electron charge through the resistor so we multiply:  48W * 4e-20s = 1.9e-18J
Note: In reality there are many electrons moving through the resistor together, and a single electron does not move this fast, but the total energy to do it would be equivalent to this.

Under electrostatic conditions, the electric field just outside the surface of any charged conductor:
lesantik [10]

Answer:

D. is always perpendicular to the surface of the conductor

Explanation:

1) Answer is (D) option. Electric field just outside surface of charged conductor is normal to conductor at that point.

It can be explained on the basis of the fact that, Electric field inside conductor under static condition is zero. As a result potential difference between any two points with in conductor is zero. So whole of conductor is equipotential body.

Equipotential surface and Electric field lines always cut at 90 degrees to each other. Conductor being equipotential body, Electric field lines starting or terminating at conductor must be normal to surface. Hence electric field just outside conductor is perpendicular or normal to surface.
