Answer:A) Current = 1.739A, B)current density, J = 2.147x10^6 A/m2

magnitude of electric field , E =  0.036 N/C

)rate of thermal energy, P  =2.086W

Explanation:

Resistance  = R =   ρL/A

But the cross-section area of the wire. is given as

Diameter / 2 = 0.04/2 =0.02in to m = 0.02 / 39.37= 0.000508

A = πr^2 = π x  0.000508^2 = 8.10 x 10^-7

since resistivity of copper,ρ= 17x10-9 ohm.m

so resistance is   R =   ρL/A

17x10-9  x 33 / 8.1x10-7

= 0.69 ohm.

A) Current =    I = Voltage /Resistance =1.20/0.69 =1.739A

B)current density, J = Current /Area

= 1.739/8.1x10-7

= 2.147x10^6 A/m2

c)magnitude of electric field , E =  Current density x resistivity =J ρ

E = 2.147 x 10^6  x 17  x 10^-9

E = 0.036 N/C

D)rate of thermal energy, P  = I² R =1.739² X 0.69

=2.086W

Define: New Moon, Full Moon, Waxing phases and Waning phases.
Nutka1998 [239]
Full moon: All of the moon or sun appears covers by the shadow.
When the moon is waxing, it means that the lit part is getting larger (going towards a full moon)
When the moon is waning , it means that the lit part is getting smaller (going towards a new moon)
The new moon represents the start of a new lunar cycle and occurs approximately every 29 days.

Hope that help:)
