Answer:

V_d = 1.75 × 10⁻⁴ m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Density of copper, ρ = 8.93 g/cm³

mass, M = 63.5 g/mol

Radius of wire = 0.625 mm

Current, I = 3A

Area of the wire, A = \frac{\pi d^2}{4} = A = \frac{\pi 0.625^2}{4}

Now,

The current density, J is given as

J=\frac{I}{A}=\frac{3}{ \frac{\pi 0.625^2}{4}}= 2444619.925 A/mm²

now, the electron density, n = \frac{\rho}{M}N_A

where,

N_A=Avogadro's Number

n = \frac{8.93}{63.5}(6.2\times 10^{23})=8.719\times 10^{28}\ electrons/m^3

Now,

the drift velocity, V_d

V_d=\frac{J}{ne}

where,

e = charge on electron = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

thus,

V_d=\frac{2444619.925}{8.719\times 10^{28}\times (1.6\times 10^{-19})e} = 1.75 × 10⁻⁴ m/s

Answer:

The drift velocity of electrons in a copper wire is 1.756\times10^{-4}\ m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Density \rho=8.93\ g/cm^3

Mass M=63.5\ g/mol

Radius = 0.625 mm

Current = 3 A

We need to calculate the drift velocity

Using formula of drift velocity

v_{d}=\dfrac{J}{ne}

Where, n = number of electron

j = current density

We need to calculate the current density

Using formula of current density

J=\dfrac{I}{\pi r^2}

J=\dfrac{3}{3.14\times(0.625\times10^{-3})^2}

J=2.45\times10^{6}\ A/m^2

Now, we calculate the number of electron

Using formula of number of electron

n=\dfrac{\rho}{M}N_{A}

n=\dfrac{8.93\times10^{6}}{63.5}\times6.2\times10^{23}

n=8.719\times10^{28}\ electron/m^3

Now put the value of n and current density into the formula of drift velocity

v_{d}=\dfrac{2.45\times10^{6}}{8.719\times10^{28}\times1.6\times10^{-19}}

v_{d}=1.756\times10^{-4}\ m/s

Hence, The drift velocity of electrons in a copper wire is 1.756\times10^{-4}\ m/s

solong [7]

Answer: A is correct

It is showing the direction that protons move in, making the sphere negative

Explanation:

From the figure, since the charges on the rod are completely positive, it shows that the protons are transferring from the sphere to the rod leaving the rod negatively charged.

Therefore, It is showing the direction that protons move in, making the sphere negative.

An object is traveling on a circle with a radius of 6 feet. If in 80 seconds a central angle of 9/4 radians is swept out, then f
trapecia [35]

Answer:

The angular speed of the object is 0.0281 rad/s

The linear speed of the object is 0.169 ft/s

Explanation:

Given;

radius of the circle, r = 6 ft

time of motion of the object around the circle, t = 80 s

central angle formed by the object during the motion, θ = 9/4 rad = 2.25 rad

The angular speed of the object is calculated as;

\omega = \frac{\theta }{t} = \frac{2.25 \ rad}{80 \ s} = 0.0281 \ rad/s

The linear speed of the object is calculated as;

v = ωr

v = 0.0281 rad/s   x    6ft

v = 0.169 ft/s
