The density of mobile electrons in copper metal is 8.4 × 1028 m-3. Suppose that i= 4.4 × 1018 electrons/s are drifting through a

copper wire. (This is a typical value for a simple circuit.) The diameter of the wire is 2.5 mm. In this case, about how many minutes would it take for a single electron in the electron sea to drift from one end to the other end of a wire 26 cm long?

Answer: 405.3 minutes

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we have to use the following:

Fisrtly we calculate the volume of the wire, this is given by:

Vwire=π*r^2*L where r and L are the radius and L the length of teh wire, respectively.

Vwire=π*1.25*10^-3*0.26=1.27*10^-6 m^3

then the number of the total electrons in tthe wire volume is given by;

n° electrons in the wire=ρ*Vwire=8.4*10^28*1.27*10^-6 m^3=1.07 *10^23

Finally, considering the current in the wire equal to 4.4*10^18 electrons/s

the time consuming to extract all the electrons from the wire is given by:

t= total electrons in the wire/ current=1.067*10^23/4.4*10^18=24,318 s

equivalent to 405.3 minutes

Answer: 26 beats in 2 seconds

Explanation:

The number of beats per second = frequency of tuning fork 1 - frequency of tuning fork 2.

Given :

- frequency of tuning fork 1 = 500Hz

- frequency of tuning fork 2 = 487Hz

Thus,

Beats per second = 500 - 487

= 13 beats per second

Therefore in two(2) seconds, you will have 2 x 13 = 26 seconds.

What causes the bright lines seen in the emission spectrum?
Snezhnost [94]
Base in your questions that ask what cause the bright lines seen in the emission spectrum and i think the best answer to that is the H2 gas is used when protons was heated so the electron absorb all the photons and get exited and resulted by given of a light.

How do you find the amplitude of a wave?
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

To find the amplitude, wavelength, period, and frequency of a sinusoidal wave, write down the wave function in the form y(x,t)=Asin(kx−ωt+ϕ).

The amplitude can be read straight from the equation and is equal to A.

The period of the wave can be derived from the angular frequency (T=2πω).
