Question

The filament in the bulb is moving back and forth, first pushed one way and then the other. What does this imply about the current in the filament

Answer 1

Answer:

energy carried by the current is given by the pointyng vector

Explanation:

The current is defined by

       i = dQ / dt

this is the number of charges per unit area over time.

The movement of the charge carriers (electrons) is governed by the applied potential difference, when the filament has a movement the drag speed of these moving electrons should change slightly.

But the energy carried by the current is given by the pointyng vector of the electromagnetic wave

            S = 1 / μ₀ EX B

It moves at the speed of light and its speed depends on the properties of the doctor and is not disturbed by small changes in speed, therefore the current in the circuit does not change due to this movement
