When a metal wire has an electric field applied, electric current flows. a) If we consider the path the electrons take through t

he wire in response to the electric field, explain why that path is not the shortest distance between the ends of the wire. b) Adding thermal energy to the wire increases the kinetic energy of the electrons, however, the resistance of the wire increases. Explain this phenomena.

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

(a) When the electric field is applied to the ends of the wire, electrons move through the wire because the resistance of the wire is less than the resistance of the surrounding air. Resistance is the obstruction to the flow of electrons hence electrons flow through the path having minimum resistance.

(b) As the thermal energy increases, Kinetic energy of electrons as well as that of positive ions also increase. Hence the mean time between collisions of electrons with ions is reduced due to movement of ions also. That is why Resistance of the wire increases.

How do you find distance from average velocity and time
AlekseyPX

Answer:

Calculate the total distance travelled by the object - its motion is represented by the velocity-time graph below.

Here, the distance travelled can be found by calculating the total area of the shaded sections below the line.

½ × base × height.

½ × 4 × 8 = 16 m 2

(10 – 4) × 8 = 48 m 2

What current flow (I) is associated with an input voltage of 5.0V and resistors R1 = 1.5 kiloohms and R2 = 0.5 kiloohms? Calcula
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

current in series is 2.50 mA

current in parallel is 13.51 mA

Explanation:

given data

voltage = 5 V

resistors R1 = 1.5 kilo ohms

resistors R2 = 0.5 kilo ohms

to given data

current flow

solution

current flow in series is express as here

current = voltage / resistor    .................1

put here all value  in equation 1

current = 5 / (1.5 + 0.5)

current = 5 / 2.0

so current = 2.50 mA

and

current flow in parallel is express as

current = voltage / resistor   ....................2

put here all value in equation  2

current = 5 / (1/ (1/1.5 + 1/0.5))

current = 5 / 0.37

so current = 13.31 mA
