A steady electric current flows through a wire. If 9.0 C of charge passes a particular spot in the wire in a time period of 2.0
1 answer:
1) Current: 4.5 A
2) Time taken: 4.7 s
Explanation:
1)
The electric current intensity is defined as the rate at which charge flows in a conductor; mathematically:
where
I is the current
q is the amount of charge passing a given point in a time t
For the wire in this problem, we have
q = 9.0 C is the amount of charge
t = 2.0 s is the time interval
Solving for I, we find the current:
2)
To solve this problem, we can use again the same formula
where
I is the current
q is the amount of charge passing a given point in a time t
In this problem, we have:
I = 3.0 A (current)
q = 14.0 C (charge)
Therefore, the time taken for the charge to move past a particular spot in the wire is

3.486 km
Explanation:
Suppose Joe and Max's directions are perfectly perpendicular (east vs north). We can calculate their distance at the destinations using Pythagorean theorem:
where J = 0.5 km and M= 3.45 km are the distances between Joe and Max to their original parting point, respectively. s is the distance between them.
