Answer:

i = 4.9 A

Explanation:

The expression for the magnetic force in a wire carrying a current is

          F = i L x B

bold letters indicate vectors.

The direction of the cable is towards the East, the direction of the magnetic field is towards the North, so the vector product is in the vertical direction (z-axis) upwards and the weight of the cable is vertical downwards. Let's apply the equilibrium condition

            F - W = 0

            i L B = m g

They indicate the linear density of the cable λ = 0.2 kg / m

           λ = m / L

           m = λ L

we substitute

           i B = λ g

           i = \frac{ \lambda \ g}{B}

let's calculate

          i = 0.2 9.8 / 0.4

          i = 4.9 A

A 10 gauge copper wire carries a current of 20 A. Assuming one free electron per copper atom, calculate the magnitude of the dri
nordsb [41]

Complete Question

A 10 gauge copper wire carries a current of 20 A. Assuming one free electron per copper atom, calculate the drift velocity of the electrons. (The cross-sectional area of a 10-gauge wire is 5.261 mm2.) mm/s

Answer:

The drift velocity is v  = 0.0002808 \ m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The current on the copper is  I  = 20 \ A

     The cross-sectional area is  A =  5.261 \ mm^2 =  5.261 *10^{-6} \ m^2

The number of copper atom in the wire is  mathematically evaluated

      n  =  \frac{\rho *  N_a}Z}

Where \rho is the density of copper with a value \rho =  8.93 \ g/m^3

          N_a is the Avogadro's number with a value N_a  = 6.02 *10^{23}\ atom/mol

         Z  is the molar mass of copper with a value  Z =  63.55 \ g/mol

So

     n  =  \frac{8.93 * 6.02 *10^{23}}{63.55}

     n  = 8.46 * 10^{28}  \  atoms /m^3

Given the 1 atom is equivalent to 1 free electron then the number of free electron is  

         N  = 8.46 * 10^{28}  \  electrons

The current through the wire is mathematically represented as

         I  =  N * e * v * A

substituting values

        20 =  8.46 *10^{28} * (1.60*10^{-19}) * v *  5.261 *10^{-6}

=>     v  = 0.0002808 \ m/s
