Answer:
91.87 m/s
Explanation:
<u>Given:</u>
- x = initial distance of the electron from the proton = 6 cm = 0.06 m
- y = initial distance of the electron from the proton = 3 cm = 0.03 m
- u = initial velocity of the electron = 0 m/s
<u>Assume:</u>
- m = mass of an electron =
- v = final velocity of the electron
- e = magnitude of charge on an electron =
- p = magnitude of charge on a proton =
We know that only only electric field due to proton causes to move from a distance of 6 cm from proton to 3 cm distance from it. This means the electric force force does work on the electron to move it from one initial position to the final position which is equal to the change in potential energy of the electron due to proton.
Now, according to the work-energy theorem, the total work done by the electric force on the electron due to proton is equal to the kinetic energy change in it.
Hence, when the electron is at a distance of c cm from the proton, it moves with a velocity of 91.87 m/s.
Answer:
1.87 A
Explanation:
τ = mean time between collisions for electrons = 2.5 x 10⁻¹⁴ s
d = diameter of copper wire = 2 mm = 2 x 10⁻³ m
Area of cross-section of copper wire is given as
A = (0.25) πd²
A = (0.25) (3.14) (2 x 10⁻³)²
A = 3.14 x 10⁻⁶ m²
E = magnitude of electric field = 0.01 V/m
e = magnitude of charge on electron = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C
m = mass of electron = 9.1 x 10⁻³¹ kg
n = number density of free electrons in copper = 8.47 x 10²² cm⁻³ = 8.47 x 10²⁸ m⁻³
= magnitude of current
magnitude of current is given as
= 1.87 A
