A copper wire has radius 0.800 mm and carries current I at 20.0°C. A silver wire with radius 0.500 mm carries the same current a

nd is also at 20.0°C. Let Ecu be the electric field in the copper wire and Eag be the electric field in the silver wire. Use the resistivities at room temperature for copper. PCu = 1.72 x 10^-8.m and for silver PAE= 1.47 x 10^-8.m. What is the ratio Ecu/Eng?

Answer:

Ecu/Eag = 0.46

Explanation:

E = PI/A

Ecu = Pcu × I/A

Pcu = 1.72×10^-8 ohm-meter

r = 0.8 mm = 0.8/1000 = 8×10^-4 m

A = πr^2 = π×(8×10^-4)^2 = 6.4×10^-7π

Ecu = 1.72×10^-8I/6.4×10^-7π = 0.026875I/1

Eag = Pag × I/A

Pag = 1.47×10^-8 ohm-meter

r = 0.5 mm = 0.5/1000 = 5×10^-4 m

A = πr^2 = π × (5×10^-4)^2 = 2.5×10^-7π

Eag = 1.47×10^-8I/2.5×10^-7π = 0.0588I/π

Ecu/Eag = 0.026875I/π × π/0.0588I = 0.46

Calculate the electric field on the surface of a charged sphere with a radius of 5cm and charge 10μC. Thanks
victus00 [196]

As you approach the surface of the sphere very closely, the electric field should resemble more and more the electric field from an infinite plane of charge.

If you check Gauss's law (recalling that the field in the conductor is zero) you will see that if the surface charge density is σ=Q/4πR2, then indeed the field at the surface is σ/ϵ0 as in the infinite charge of plane case.

Such a field is constant, the field lines are parallel and non-diverging, and the infinities associated with the field due to point charge do not arise.

Moving 4.0 coulombs of charge through a circuit
Galina-37 [17]
We know that V=E/Q Where V is the PD, E is the energy, and Q is the charge.

Substituting in the values gives V=48/4=12

Therefore the PD across the circuit is 12V

An incident light ray hits a plane surface at 20 degrees (hint: remember where the angle is measured from). What is the angle be
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

40^{\circ}

Explanation:

The incident angle is 20^{\circ} so the reflected ray will also be 20^{\circ}.

The normal divides the angle between the incident and reflected ray. So, the angle between them would be

\text{Incident angle}+\text{Reflected angle}=20+20=40^{\circ}

So, the angle between the incident and reflected rays is 40^{\circ}.

Q1- the speed will increase because the particles will have more energy which causes them to move faster
trasher [3.6K]
<h3># Question </h3>

Q1- the speed will increase because the particles will have more energy which causes them to move faster

Explanation:

<h3>With an increase in temperature, the particles gain kinetic energy and move faster. The actual average speed of the particles depends on their mass as well as the temperature – heavier particles move more slowly than lighter ones at the same temperature. </h3>
