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.

Answer:

It's an Angle of incidence that provides a 90° angle but is also refracted at the same time. it's used to find the water-air boundary (which is 48.6 degrees). in addition, its an angle of incidence value.

The kinetic energy of a body of mass 15 kg is 30 joule. What is its momentum?
lys-0071 [83]

This problem is a piece o' cake, IF you know the formulas for both kinetic energy and momentum.  So here they are:

Kinetic energy = (1/2) · (mass) · (speed²)

Momentum = (mass) · (speed)

So, now ... We know that

==> mass = 15 kg,  and

==> kinetic energy = 30 Joules

Take those pieces of info and pluggum into the formula for kinetic energy:

Kinetic energy = (1/2) · (mass) · (speed²)

30 Joules = (1/2) · (15 kg) · (speed²)

60 Joules = (15 kg) · (speed²)

4 m²/s² = speed²

Speed = 2 m/s

THAT's all you need !  Now you can find momentum:

Momentum = (mass) · (speed)

Momentum = (15 kg) · (2 m/s)

<em>Momentum = 30 kg·m/s</em>

<em>(Notice that in this problem, although their units are different, the magnitude of the KE is equal to the magnitude of the momentum.  When I saw this, I wondered whether that's always true.  So I did a little more work, and I found out that it isn't ... it's a coincidence that's true for this problem and some others, but it's usually not true.)</em>
