Consider a silver wire (σ = 6.3 ✕ 107 Ω⁻¹ · m⁻¹) with a cross-sectional area of 1 mm2 (similar to your connecting wires) and car

rying 0.3 amperes of current, which is about what you get in a circuit with a round bulb and two batteries in series. Calculate the strength of the very small electric field required to drive this current through the wire.

Answer:

E=4.76 N/C

Explanation:

According to macroscopic ohm's law:

J=\sigma*E\\where:\\J=Current\_density\\\sigma=Conductivity\\E=Electric\_field\\

J=\frac{I}{A_o}\\J=\frac{0.3A}{1*10^{-6}m^2}\\\\J=0.3*10^6A/m

rearranging the formula:

E=\frac{J}{\sigma}\\\\E=\frac{0.3*10^6A/m^2}{6.3*10^{7}}\\\\E=4.76*10^{-3}N/C

In 1600, Dr. William Gilbert coined the term “electrica,” a word that gave rise to our word electricity.
mrs_skeptik [129]

They recorded the first references to electrical effects, such as static electricity and lightning, over 2,500 years ago. It was not until 1600 that a man named Dr. William Gilbert coined the term “electrica,” a Latin word which describes the static charge that develops when certain materials are rubbed against amber.
