Which makes a larger current: fast-moving electrons or slow-moving electrons? Why is this?

Physics
1 answer:
Len [333]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Fast moving electrons produce larger current because if electrons move faster, the rate of flow of charge in a given volume will be more

Explanation:

Assuming that there are no collisions between the electrons

Fast moving electrons produce larger currents because the rate of flow of charge which is the rate of change of amount of charge in a given volume will be more as the speed of the electrons is more

<h3>As the current is defined as the rate of flow of charge and by the formula it is represented as </h3><h3>I = dQ ÷ dt</h3>

where I is the current flowing through it

dQ is the change in amount of charge

dt is the change in time

In case of fast-moving electrons the term dQ ÷ dt will be more and therefore the current will be more

∴ Larger current is produced by fast moving electrons

You are to design a rotating cylindrical axle to lift 800-N buckets of cement from the ground to a rooftop 78.0 m above the grou
Ronch [10]

Answer:

The diameter of the axle is 5.08 cm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Force = 800 N

Distance = 78.0 m

Suppose we need to find the diameter of the axle be in order to raise the buckets at a steady 2.00 cm/s when it is turning at 7.5 rpm.

We need to calculate the radius of axle

Using formula of linear velocity

v = r\omega

r=\dfrac{v}{\omega}

Where, v =velocity

r = radius

\omega=angular velocity

Put the value into the formula

r=\dfrac{2.00}{7.5\times\dfrac{2\pi}{60}}

r=2.54\ cm

We need to calculate the diameter of axle

Using formula of diameter

d=2r

d=2\times2.54

d=5.08\ cm

Hence, The diameter of the axle is 5.08 cm.

A boat crosses a 200 m wide river at 3 ms-1, north relative to water. The river flows at 1 ms-1 as shown.
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

3.16 m·s⁻¹ at an angle of 71.6°  

Explanation:

Assume that the diagram is like Fig. 1 below.

The boat is heading straight across the river and the current is directed straight downstream.

We have two vectors at right angles to each other.

1. Calculate the magnitude of the resultant

We can use the Pythagorean theorem (Fig. 2).

R² = (3 m·s⁻¹)² + (1 m·s⁻¹)² = 9 m²·s⁻² + 1 m²·s⁻² = 10 m²·s⁻²

R = √(10 m²·s⁻²) ≈ 3.16 m·s⁻¹

2. Calculate the direction of the resultant

The direction of the resultant is the counterclockwise angle (θ) that it makes with due East .

tanθ = opposite/adjacent = 3/1 = 3

θ = arctan 3 = 71.6°

To an observer at point O, the velocity of the boat is 3.16 m·s⁻¹ at an angle of 71.6°.

A battery having an emf of 9.76 V delivers 111 mA when connected to a 60.5 Ω load. Determine the internal resistance of the batt
kow [346]

Answer:

r = 27.4 \: ohm

Explanation:

Using

E = I(R + r)

9.76 = 111 \times  {10}^{ - 3} (60.5 + r) \\ 87.928 = 60.5 + r \\ r = 27.4 \: ohm
