A total of 2.0x 1013 electrons pass a given point in a wire in 15s. what is the current in the wire

The current in a wire is defined as the amount of charge that passes a given point of the wire in a given time:
I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t}
where Q is the charge and \Delta t is the time interval.

Since one electron has a charge of q=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C, the total charge of 2.0 \cdot 10^{13} electrons is
Q=qN=(1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C)(2.0 \cdot 10^{13} )=3.2 \cdot 10^{-6} C

And since the time interval is \Delta t=15 s, the current in the wire is
I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t}= \frac{3.2 \cdot 10^{-6} C}{15 s}=2.1 \cdot 10^{-7}A

Which is an example of current electricity
Reil [10]

Answer:

A or B you choose

Explanation:

This is called current electricity or an electric current. A lightning bolt is one example of an electric current, although it does not last very long. Electric currents are also involved in powering all the electrical appliances that you use, from washing machines to flashlights and from telephones to MP3 players.

what is an electrical current, amp, ampere Current is the flow of electrons. When a circuit is closed then a current of electrons can flow and when a circuit is open then no current can flow. We can measure the flow of electrons just like you can measure the flow of water through a pipe.

A 2.8 kg grinding wheel is in the form of a solid cylinder of radius 0.1 m. a) What constant torque will bring it from rest to a
kogti [31]

Answer:

a) τ =  0.672 N m , b) θ = 150 rad , c) W = 100.8 J

Explanation:

a) for this part let's start by finding angular acceleration, when the angular velocity stops it is zero (w = 0)

       w = w₀ + α t

       α = -w₀ / t

       α = 120 / 2.5

       α = 48 rad / s²

The moment of inertia of a cylinder is

       I = ½ M R²

Let's calculate the torque

      τ = I α

      τ = ½ M R² α

      τ = ½ 2.8 0.1² 48

      τ =  0.672 N m

b) we look for the angle by kinematics

      θ = w₀ t + ½ α t2

      θ = ½ α t²

      θ = ½ 48 2.5²

      θ = 150 rad

c) work in angular movement

      W = τ θ

      W = 0.672 150

      W = 100.8 J

A wooden block of mass m = 9 kg starts from rest on an inclined plane sloped at an angle θ from the horizontal. The block is ori
vredina [299]

Answer:

f = 0.283

Explanation:

With the given values x=5m and t=2s, the acceleration a of the block must be:

(1) a=\frac{2x}{t^2}

The sum of all forces in the inclined plane must be:

(2) F=ma=sin(\theta) F_{gravity}-F_{friction}=sin(\theta) mg - f cos(\theta) mg

Solving equation2 for the acceleration a:

(3) a=sin(\theta) g - f cos(\theta) g

Using equations 1 and 3 to solve for f:

\frac{2x}{t^2}=sin(\theta) g - f cos(\theta) g\\f=tan(\theta)-\frac{2x}{t^2cos(\theta)g}
