The answer to your question is 12 degrees because you subtract 42 degrees minus 30 degrees to get 12 degrees

A current of 4.00 mA flows through a copper wire. The wire has an initial diameter of 4.00 mm which gradually tapers to a diamet

lesya692 [45]

The change in mean drift velocity for electrons as they pass from one end of the wire to the other is 3.506 x 10⁻⁷ m/s and average acceleration of the electrons is 4.38 x 10⁻¹⁵ m/s².

The given parameters;

Current flowing in the wire, I = 4.00 mA
Initial diameter of the wire, d₁ = 4 mm = 0.004 m
Final diameter of the wire, d₂ = 1 mm = 0.001 m
Length of wire, L = 2.00 m
Density of electron in the copper, n = 8.5 x 10²⁸ /m³

The initial area of the copper wire;

$A_1 = \frac{\pi d^2}{4} = \frac{\pi \times (0.004)^2}{4} =1.257\times 10^{-5} \ m^2$

The final area of the copper wire;

$A_2 = \frac{\pi d^2}{4} = \frac{\pi (0.001)^2}{4} = 7.86\times 10^{-7} \ m^2$

The initial drift velocity of the electrons is calculated as;

$v_d_1 = \frac{I}{nqA_1} \\\\v_d_1 = \frac{4\times 10^{-3} }{8.5\times 10^{28} \times 1.6\times 10^{-19} \times 1.257\times 10^{-5}} \\\\v_d_1 = 2.34 \times 10^{-8} \ m/s$

The final drift velocity of the electrons is calculated as;

$v_d_2 = \frac{I}{nqA_2} \\\\v_d_2 = \frac{4\times 10^{-3} }{8.5\times 10^{28} \times 1.6\times 10^{-19} \times 7.86\times 10^{-7}} \\\\v_d_2 = 3.74\times 10^{-7} \ m/s$

The change in the mean drift velocity is calculated as;

$\Delta v = v_d_2 -v_d_1\\\\\Delta v = 3.74\times 10^{-7} \ m/s \ -\ 2.34 \times 10^{-8} \ m/s = 3.506\times 10^{-7} \ m/s$

The time of motion of electrons for the initial wire diameter is calculated as;

$t_1 = \frac{L}{v_d_1} \\\\t_1 = \frac{2}{2.34\times 10^{-8}} \\\\t_1 = 8.547\times 10^{7} \ s$

The time of motion of electrons for the final wire diameter is calculated as;

$t_2 = \frac{L}{v_d_1} \\\\t_2= \frac{2}{3.74 \times 10^{-7}} \\\\t_2 = 5.348 \times 10^{6} \ s$

The average acceleration of the electrons is calculated as;

$a = \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} \\\\a = \frac{3.506 \times 10^{-7} }{(8.547\times 10^7)- (5.348\times 10^6)} \\\\a = 4.38\times 10^{-15} \ m/s^2$

Thus, the change in mean drift velocity for electrons as they pass from one end of the wire to the other is 3.506 x 10⁻⁷ m/s and average acceleration of the electrons is 4.38 x 10⁻¹⁵ m/s².

4 A magnet can exert a force of attraction or a force of repulsion on another magnet.

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Push -repulsion

Pull - attraction

Explanation:

When two magnets are brought together, a push happens when a force of repulsion is experienced where the magnets move away from each other. This means their polarity is the same and this will cause the magnet to push away from each other.

When two magnets are brought together , a pull happens when a force of attraction is experienced where the magnets move close to each other. This means their polarity is different and thus causes the magnets to pull closer to each other.

Who did not have experimental evidence to support his theory of the atom? Dalton Thomson Rutherford Democritus

Aloiza [94]

Democritus was the one who did not have experimental evidence to support his theory of the atom.

Answer: Option 4

Explanation:

The discovery of atoms were first stated by Democritus but due to the absence of any experimental proof, his statement was not noted as significant at that time.

After this, Dalton made the specific assumptions formulating some postulates for the atomic theory with proof. Then the cathode rays tube experiments performed by Thomson lead to the formation of plum pudding models of atom.

This is followed by Rutherford’s gold foil experiment discovering the presence of nucleus inside the atoms. So, Democritus first stated but due to absence of experimental evidences, his theory of atoms were not supported at that time.
