You are presented with several wires made of the same conducting material. The radius and drift speed are given for each wire in

terms of some unknown units \rm r and \rm v. Rank the wires in order of decreasing electron current.Rank from most to least electron current.a) radius=3r, drift speed=1vb) radius=4r, drift speed=0.5vc) radius=1r, drift speed=5vd) radius=2r, drift speed=2.5v

\begin{array}{ccc}&\text{Radius} & \text{Drift Speed}\\d) & 2 \; r &2.5 \; v\\a) & 3 \; r &1 \; v\\b) & 4 \; r &0.5 \; v\\c) & 1 \; r &5 \; v\\\end{array}

<h3>Explanation</h3>

I = v \cdot A \cdot n \cdot q,

where

  • I is the current;
  • v is the drift speed;
  • A is the cross-section area of the wire,
  • n is the number of charge carrier per unit volume, and
  • q is the charge on each charge carrier.

Area of a circular cross-section:

A = \pi \cdot r^{2},

where

  • r is the radius of the wire.

n and q are the same for all four samples, for they are made out of the same material.

As a result, I of each wire is directly proportional to v \cdot r^{2} where the value of \pi \cdot n \cdot q is constant.

For each of the four wires:

\begin{array}{ccc|c}\\& r & v &I \propto v\cdot r^{2}\\a) & 3 & 1 & 9\\b) & 4 & 0.5 & 8\\c) & 1 & 5 & 5\\d) & 2 & 2.5 & 10\\\end{array}.

How do the four wires rank by their current?

d > a > b > c.

Strong solar winds blew dust and gas out of the solar system during which phase of the development of the Sun?
ipn [44]
The choices can be found elsewhere and as follows:

a. <span>Alpha Centauri </span>
<span>c. </span><span>T-tauri </span>
<span>b. </span><span>The Big Bang </span>
<span>d. </span><span>Nebular
</span>
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. <span>Strong solar winds blew dust and gas out of the solar system during Nebular phase. This seems to be the most logical option from the choices. Hope this helps. Have a nice day.</span>

What happens to the density of a given substance if you increase the amount of the substance that you have?
Amanda [17]
Have you ever looked up the density of a substance ?  You ought to try it.  Go ahead. Pick a substance, then go online or open up an actual book and find its density.  You will never see any particular volume mentioned along with the density . . . because it doesn't matter.  The whole idea of density is that it describes the substance, no matter how much or how little you have of it.  The density of a tiny drop of water under a microscope is the same as the density of a supertanker-ful of water.

At which point does the planet have the least gravitational force acting on it?
Elza [17]

Answer:

At which point does the planet have the least gravitational force acting on it?

Explanation:

In an elliptical orbit, when a planet is at its furthest point from the Sun, it is under the least amount of gravity, meaning that the force of gravity is strongest when it is closest.
