A small but measurable current of 5.8 × 10-10 A exists in a copper wire whose diameter is 3.0 mm. The number of charge carriers

per unit volume is 8.49 × 1028 m-3. Assuming the current is uniform, calculate the (a) current density and (b) electron drift speed.

Answer:

a) The current density ,J = 2.05×10^-5

b) The drift velocity Vd= 1.51×10^-15

Explanation:

The equation for the current density and drift velocity is given by:

J = i/A = (ne)×Vd

Where i= current

A = Are

Vd = drift velocity

e = charge ,q= 1.602 ×10^-19C

n = volume

Given: i = 5.8×10^-10A

Raduis,r = 3mm= 3.0×10^-3m

n = 8.49×10^28m^3

a) Current density, J =( 5.8×10^-10)/[3.142(3.0×10^-3)^2]

J = (5.8×10^-10) /(2.83×10^-5)

J = 2.05 ×10^-5

b) Drift velocity, Vd = J/ (ne)

Vd = (2.05×10^-5)/ (8.49×10^28)(1.602×10^-19)

Vd = (2.05×10^-5)/(1.36 ×10^10)

Vd = 1.51× 10^-5

Answer: a) J = 8.2×10^-5A/m^2

b) V = 6.07×10^-15m/s

Explanation:

The current density is the ratio of current to area of the wire.

J = i/A

Drift speed is inversly proportional to the square of the radius of the wire.v α 1/r^2

What observations can the geologist make by working outdoors instead of in a lab?
vredina [299]

Answer:

Geology is the study of the Earth that involves the process at Earth, materials of which it is made, and its history.

<u>Geologists combine both laboratory and field data to illustrate the results of their research. Some observations that can the geologist make by working outdoors instead of in a lab are as follows:</u>

  • Understanding and exploring the earth's surface closely using geophysical tools.
  • Collecting samples by own and make some interpretations at the same time.
  • Observation of the  landscapes
  • Close observation of outcrops

A student pulls horizontally on a 12 kg box, which then moves horizontally with an acceleration of 0.2 m/s^2. If the student use
polet [3.4K]
The net force of the object is equal to the force applied minus the force of friction. 
                         Fnet = ma = F - Ff
                           12 kg x 0.2 m/s² = 15 N - Ff
The value of Ff is 12.6 N. This force is equal to the product of the normal force which is equal to the weight in horizontal surface and the coefficient of friction.
                             Ff = 12.6 N = k(12 kg)(9.81 m/s²)
The value of k is equal to 0.107.
