5. The wire in consists of two segments of different diameters but made from the same metal. The current in segment 1 is I1. a.
1 answer:
Answer:
hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question
answer :
a) I1 = I2
b) J1 > J2
c) E 1 > E2
d) ( vd1 ) > ( vd2 )
Explanation:
a) The currents in the two segments are the same i.e. I1 = I2 and this is because the segments are connected in series
b) Comparing the current densities J1 and J2 in the two segments
note : current density ∝ 1 / area
The area of the second segment is > the area of first segment therefore
J1 > J2
J1 ( current density of first segment )
J2 ( current density of second segment )
c) Comparing the electric field strengths E1 and E2
note : electric field strength ∝ current density
since current density of first segment is > current density of second segment and conductivity of the materials are the same hence
E 1 > E2
d) Comparing the drift speeds Vd1 and Vd2
( vd1 ) > ( vd2 )
this because ; vd ∝ current density

Work is the amount of energy transferred
Explanation:
In physics, work is a measure of the energy transfer occurring in a process. Typically, we talk about work when energy is converted from one form into another.
For instance, work is done when a force is applied on an object. The work done on the object is given by:
where
where
F is the magnitude of the force
d is the displacement
is the angle between the direction of the force and of the displacement
We notice the following:
- No work is done when the force is perpendicular to the displacement (
)
- The work is maximum when the force is parallel to the displacement
Whenever work is done, there is also an energy transfer taking place. For instance, in the previous example, when the force is applied to the object, the object will accelerate (assume there is no friction), and will gain kinetic energy: therefore, there is a transfer of energy to the object.
