Answer:
t = 402 years
Explanation:
To find the number of year that electrons take in crossing the complete transmission line, you first calculate the drift speed of the electrons. Then, you use the following formula for the current in a wire:
(1)
n: number of mobile charge carrier per volume = 8.50*10^28 e/m^3
q: charge of the electron = 1.6*10^-19 C
vd: drift velocity of electron in the metal = ?
A: cross sectional area of the wire = π r^2 = π (0.02m/2)^2 = 3.1415*10^-4 m^2
I: current in the wire = 1110 A
You solve the equation (1) for vd:

Next, you calculate the time by using the information about the length of the line transmission:

hence, the electrons will take aproximately 402 years in crossing the line of transmission
Answer: divide by zero, or square root of a negative
Explanation: If your question is how to get infinity as an answer to a problem, that generally means that the answer is undefined or doesn't exist.
A couple of ways to get that...
- You try to divide by zero. In other words, a problem that asks you to perform something like this: 5/0= or 23/(4-4)= Such a problem will give you an error on a calculator because the answer is infinity or doesn't exist.
- Another way is to try to get the square root of a negative number. That answer doesn't exist as a real number, so
will also give you an error on a calculator.
