An arbitrarily shaped piece of conductor is given a net negative charge and is alone in space. What can we say about the electri

c potential within the conductor? Assume that the electric potential is zero at points that are very far away from the conductor.

Answer:

The electrostatic potential within the conductor will be negative and constant throughout the conductor.

Explanation:

Whenever a conductor is charged the total charge is spread throughout the entire surface uniformly. Inside the conductor the net electric field is always zero. Also we know if \overrightarrow{E} e the electric field and V is the potential, then

\overrightarrow{E}= - \overrightarrow{\nabla}V

Now as in this case electric field within the conductor is zero, so potential (V) has to be constant.

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

30.22 hours

Explanation:

Given data:

A= l² = (2 x 10^{-3})² = 4 x 10^{-6} m²

Length 'L' = 5m

current 'I' = 2 A

density of free electrons 'n'= 8.5 x 10^{28} /m³

Current Density 'J' = I/ A

J= 2/4 x 10^{-6}

J= 5 x 10^{5} A/m²

We can determine the  time required for an electron to travel the length of the wire by

T= L/ Vd

Where,

L is length and Vd is drift velocity.

Vd can be defined by J/ n|q|

where,

n is the charge-carrier number density

|q| is is the charge carried by each charge carrier =>1.6 x 10^{-19}C

T= L/ Vd

Therefore,

T= L . n|q| / J

T= (4 x 8.5 x 10^{28} x |1.6 x 10^{-19}|)/5 x 10^{5}

T= 108800 seconds =>1813.33 minutes

Converting minute into hours:

T= 30.22 hours

Thus, time that is required for an electron to travel the length of the wire is 30.22 hours

In zoes egg experiment which two forces are balanced to keep it from hitting the pan
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

The forces of push and pull

Explanation:

In the egg drop experiment, the egg is balanced on top of a toilet paper tube and balanced on a pan. The pan itself is placed on top of a glass of water. When the experimenter uses his hands to push the pan, the force of gravity pulls the egg downwards making it move down, right into the glass of water.

So the two forces which are applied in opposite directions are;

1. The force of push applied horizontally by the hand when it pushes the pan away, and

2. The force of pull caused by gravity which makes the egg move vertically downwards.
