An aluminum wire with a diameter of 0.115 mm has a uniform electric field of 0.235 V/m imposed along its entire length. The temp

erature of the wire is 55.0°C. Assume one free electron per atom. Given that at 20 degrees, rhoo = 2.82x10-8 Ωm and α = 3.9x10-3 /C. Determine:
a) the resistivity of the wire.
b) the current density in the wire.
c) the total current in the wire.
d) the potential different that must exist between the ends of a 2m length of wire if the given electric field is to be produced.

Answer:

Explanation:

a) To get the resistivity ρ at 50 Celsius, given the resitstivity at 20 Celsisus, use:

ρ = ρo(1 + α(T - To))

where To = 20 Celsius

b) Knowing the resistivity at 50 Celsius, and the (uniform) electric field E, you can determine the current density J using:

E = ρJ

(which is actually a density-averaged version of V = IR)

c) Assuming the current is uniform (which is should be in a uniform electric field and constant-diameter wire), the current i can be calculated using:

J = i/A --> i = JA

where A is the cross-sectional area of the wire (given by πr2); make sure to convert the given diameter to a radius, and the radius to base units

d) Since the electric field is given in volts per meter, and you have two meters of length in the wire, you can determine directly from that how many volts difference you need at the ends of the wire to get 0.2 volts per meter.

0.2 = V/d

with d = 2 m. This corresponds to a uniform electric field being related to voltage by V = Ed, where d is distance along the field line.

How long will it take for a radioactive isotope with a decay constant of 0.15 (which means a half life of 4.6 days ) to decay to
jek_recluse [69]
Radioactive decay is given by:
N = No x e^(-λt)
We know that N/No has to be 0.05
λ = 0.15
0.05 = e^(-0.15t)
t = ln(0.05)/(-0.15)
t = 19.97 days

An electron is confined to a one dimensional region, bounded by an infinite potential. If the energy of the electron in its firs
OLga [1]

Answer:

The energy in its ground state is 10 meV.

Explanation:

It is given that,

The energy of the electron in its first excited state is 40 meV.

Energy of the electron in any state is given by :

E=\dfrac{n^2\pi^2h^2}{8mL^2}

For ground state, n = 1

E_1=\dfrac{\pi^2h^2}{8mL^2}.............(1)

For first excited state, n = 2

40=\dfrac{2^2\pi^2h^2}{8mL^2}.............(2)

Dividing equation (1) and (2), we get :

\dfrac{E_1}{40}=\dfrac{1}{4}

E_1=10\ meV

So, the energy in its ground state is 10 meV. Hence, this is the required solution.

Featured snippet from the web

Answer: Surface waves can have characteristics of both longitudinal and transverse waves in the following way; The motion of the surface waves is up and down which is perpendicular to the direction of the wave. This is similar to the motion of transverse waves whereas the the motion of longitudinal.
