Answer:
a) 4.9*10^-6
b) 5.71*10^-15
Explanation:
Given
current, I = 3.8*10^-10A
Diameter, D = 2.5mm
n = 8.49*10^28
The equation for current density and speed drift is
J = I/A = (ne) Vd
A = πD²/4
A = π*0.0025²/4
A = π*6.25*10^-6/4
A = 4.9*10^-6
Now,
J = I/A
J = 3.8*10^-10/4.9*10^-6
J = 7.76*10^-5
Electron drift speed is
J = (ne) Vd
Vd = J/(ne)
Vd = 7.76*10^-5/(8.49*10^28)*(1.60*10^-19)
Vd = 7.76*10^-5/1.3584*10^10
Vd = 5.71*10^-15
Therefore, the current density and speed drift are 4.9*10^-6
And 5.71*10^-15 respectively
Answer:
3.88 * 10^(-15) J
Explanation:
We know that the Potential energy of the electron at the beginning of its motion is equal to the Kinetic energy at the end of its motion, when it reaches the plates.
First, we get the potential and potential energy:
Electric potential = E * r
E = electric field
r = distance between plates
Potential = 2.2 * 10^6 * 0.011
= 2.42 * 10^4 V
The relationship between electric potential and potential energy is:
P. E. = q*V
q = charge of electron = 1.602 * 10^(-19) C
P. E. = 2.42 * 10^4 * 1.602 * 10^(-19)
P. E. = 3.88 * 10^(-15) J
