A gold wire has a 0.30 mm diameter cross section. Opposite ends of this wire are connected to the terminals of a 1.5 V battery.

If the length of the wire is 5.5 cm, how much time, on average, is required for electrons leaving the negative terminal of the battery to reach the positive terminal? Assume the resistivity of gold is 2.44 10-8 Ω·m.

Answer :

The time is 0.46 sec.

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter = 0.30 mm

Voltage = 1.5 V

Length = 5.5 cm

Resistivity of gold \rho= 2.44\times10^{-8}\ \Omega m

We know that,

The resistance is

R=\dfrac{\rho L}{A}...(I)

The current is

I=\dfrac{V}{R}...(II)

Put the value of R

I=\dfrac{V}{\dfrac{\rho L}{A}}

I=\dfrac{VA}{\rho L}

We need to calculate the drift velocity

Using formula of drift velocity

v_{d}=\dfrac{I}{neA}

v_{d}=\dfrac{\dfrac{VA}{\rho L}}{neA}

v_{d}=\dfrac{V}{ne\rho L}

Put the value into the formula

v_{d}=\dfrac{1.5}{5.90\times10^{28}\times1.6\times10^{-19}\times5.5\times10^{-2}\times2.44\times10^{-8}}

v_{d}=11.8\times10^{-2}\ cm/s

We need to calculate the time

Using formula of time

t=\dfrac{L}{v_{d}}

Put the value into the formula

t=\dfrac{5.5}{11.8\times10^{-2}}

t=0.46\ sec

Hence, The time is 0.46 sec.

A 60cm long string of an ordinary guitar is tuned to produce the note a4 (frequency 440hz) when vibrating in its fundamental mod
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

0.78 m

Explanation:

The relationship between wavelength and frequency of a wave is given by

v=f \lambda

where

v is the speed of the wave

f is the frequency

\lambda is the wavelength

For the sound wave in this problem, we have

f=440 Hz is the frequency

v = 344 m/s is the speed of sound in air

Substituting into the equation and re-arranging it, we find the wavelength:

\lambda=\frac{v}{f}=\frac{344 m/s}{440 Hz}=0.78 m
