A copper wire has a diameter of 2.05 mm and carries a current of 5 A due solely to electrons. Given that the free (capable to mo

ve) electron concentration in copper is 1023 electrons per cm3, find the average velocity of the electrons in the wire. Give the velocity in mm/s and in miles/hour.

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the average velocity in an electron, defined as the value of the current on the product between the charge, the number of electrons, the constancy pi and the squared radius. Our values are given as,

D = 2.05 mm

I = 5A

e = -1.6 x 10^{-19} C

Q = 10^{23} e/cm^3 = 10^{29}e/m^3

The radius would b,

R = \frac{D}{2} = \frac{2.05*10^{-3}m}{2}

R = 1.025*10^{-3}m

Now the average velocity

V = \frac{I}{(Q e \pi R^2)}

Here,

I = Current

Q = Electron concentration

e = Charge of electron

R = Radius

V = \frac{5}{(10^{29})(-1.6*10^{-19})(\pi)(1.025*10^{-3})^2}}

V = 9.46*10^{-5}m/s

Converting to the values required we have that,

V = 9.46*10^{-5} m/s (\frac{1000mm}{1m})

V = 9.46*10^{-2}mm/s

And,

V = 9.46*10^{-5}m/s (\frac{3600s}{1hour})(\frac{0.000621371miles}{1m})

V = 2.116*10^{-4}mph

A train having speed of 85 km/h takes 5 hours to travel from Kerala to Karnataka. Calculate the distance between Kerala and Karn
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

the distance between Kerala and Karnataka is 425 km.

Explanation:

Given;

speed of the train, u = 85 km/h

time taken for the train to travel from Kerala to Karnataka, t = 5 hours

The distance between Kerala and Karnataka is calculated as;

Distance = speed x time

Distance = 85 km/h  x  5 h

Distance = 425 km

Therefore, the distance between Kerala and Karnataka is 425 km.

A particle of unit mass moves in a potential V(x)= ax^2+b/x^2 . Where a and b are constnts. Calcuate the angular frequency of sm
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Potential Energy is given by

U(x)=ax^2+\frac{b}{x^2}

And Force is given by

F=-\frac{\mathrm{d} U}{\mathrm{d} x}

Particle will be at equilibrium when Potential Energy is either minimum or maximum

F=-\left ( 2ax-\frac{2b}{x^3}\right )

i.e.ax=\frac{b}{x^3}

x_0=(\frac{b}{a})^{0.25}

So angular Frequency of small oscillation is given by

\omega =\sqrt{\frac{U''(x)}{m}}

for m=1

we get    \omega =\sqrt{\frac{U''(x_0)}{1}}

U''(x_0)=2a+6a= 8a

\omega =\sqrt{8a}

If element X has 17 protons, how many electrons does it have?
OleMash [197]
18 electrons because protons minus the atomic mass so it would be 35-17 which gives you 18.

Which of the following changes will always increase the efficiency of a thermodynamic engine? Choose all correct statements.
Ilya [14]

Answer:B,C,D

Explanation:

Thermodynamic  efficiency is given by

\eta =1-\frac{T_C}{T-H}

\eta efficiency can be increased by Keeping _c constant and increasing T_H

Keeping T_H constant and decreasing T_c

by increasing \Delta T=T_H-T_c

by decreasing \frac{T_C}{T_H} ratio
