The current is defined as the ratio between the charge Q flowing through a certain point of a wire and the time interval,
:
First we need to find the net charge flowing at a certain point of the wire in one second,
. Using I=0.92 A and re-arranging the previous equation, we find
Now we know that each electron carries a charge of
, so if we divide the charge Q flowing in the wire by the charge of one electron, we find the number of electron flowing in one second:
By the law of momentum conservation:-
=>m¹u¹ + m²u² = m1v1 + m²v² {let East is +ve}
=>u¹ + u² = v¹ + v² {as m1=m2}
=>3.5 - 2.75 = v1-1.5
<span>
=>v¹ = 2.25 m/s (East) </span>
