A current of 4.00 mA flows through a copper wire. The wire has an initial diameter of 4.00 mm which gradually tapers to a diamet

er of 1.00 mm. The wire length is
2.00 m and copper has a number density of 8.50 × 1028 m–3.

Find the change in mean drift velocity for electrons as they pass from one end of the wire to the other and therefore calculate the average acceleration of the electrons.

The change in mean drift velocity for electrons as they pass from one end of the wire to the other is 3.506 x 10⁻⁷ m/s and average acceleration of the electrons is 4.38 x 10⁻¹⁵ m/s².

The given parameters;

  • <em>Current flowing in the wire, I = 4.00 mA</em>
  • <em>Initial diameter of the wire, d₁ = 4 mm = 0.004 m</em>
  • <em>Final diameter of the wire, d₂ = 1 mm = 0.001 m</em>
  • <em>Length of wire, L = 2.00 m</em>
  • <em>Density of electron in the copper, n = 8.5 x 10²⁸ /m³</em>

<em />

The initial area of the copper wire;

A_1 = \frac{\pi d^2}{4} = \frac{\pi \times (0.004)^2}{4} =1.257\times 10^{-5} \ m^2

The final area of the copper wire;

A_2 = \frac{\pi d^2}{4} = \frac{\pi (0.001)^2}{4} = 7.86\times 10^{-7} \ m^2

The initial drift velocity of the electrons is calculated as;

v_d_1 = \frac{I}{nqA_1} \\\\v_d_1 = \frac{4\times 10^{-3} }{8.5\times 10^{28} \times 1.6\times 10^{-19} \times 1.257\times 10^{-5}} \\\\v_d_1 = 2.34 \times 10^{-8} \ m/s

The final drift velocity of the electrons is calculated as;

v_d_2 = \frac{I}{nqA_2} \\\\v_d_2 = \frac{4\times 10^{-3} }{8.5\times 10^{28} \times 1.6\times 10^{-19} \times 7.86\times 10^{-7}} \\\\v_d_2 = 3.74\times 10^{-7}  \ m/s

The change in the mean drift velocity is calculated as;

\Delta v = v_d_2 -v_d_1\\\\\Delta v = 3.74\times 10^{-7} \ m/s \ -\ 2.34 \times 10^{-8} \ m/s = 3.506\times 10^{-7} \ m/s

The time of motion of electrons for the initial wire diameter is calculated as;

t_1 = \frac{L}{v_d_1} \\\\t_1 = \frac{2}{2.34\times 10^{-8}} \\\\t_1 = 8.547\times 10^{7} \ s

The time of motion of electrons for the final wire diameter is calculated as;

t_2 = \frac{L}{v_d_1} \\\\t_2= \frac{2}{3.74 \times 10^{-7}} \\\\t_2 = 5.348 \times 10^{6} \ s

The average acceleration of the electrons is calculated as;

a = \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} \\\\a = \frac{3.506 \times 10^{-7} }{(8.547\times 10^7)- (5.348\times 10^6)} \\\\a = 4.38\times 10^{-15} \ m/s^2

Thus, the change in mean drift velocity for electrons as they pass from one end of the wire to the other is 3.506 x 10⁻⁷ m/s and average acceleration of the electrons is 4.38 x 10⁻¹⁵ m/s².

A uniformly charged, one-dimensional rod of length L has total positive charge Q. Itsleft end is located at x = ????L and its ri
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

|\vec{F}| = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{qQ}{L}(\ln(L+x_0)-\ln(x_0))

Explanation:

The force on the point charge q exerted by the rod can be found by Coulomb's Law.

\vec{F} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}\^r

Unfortunately, Coulomb's Law is valid for points charges only, and the rod is not a point charge.

In this case, we have to choose an infinitesimal portion on the rod, which is basically a point, and calculate the force exerted by this point, then integrate this small force (dF) over the entire rod.

We will choose an infinitesimal portion from a distance 'x' from the origin, and the length of this portion will be denoted as 'dx'. The charge of this small portion will be 'dq'.

Applying Coulomb's Law:

d\vec{F} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{qdq}{x + x_0}(\^x)

The direction of the force on 'q' is to the right, since both charges are positive, and they repel each other.

Now, we have to write 'dq' in term of the known quantities.

\frac{Q}{L} = \frac{dq}{dx}\\dq = \frac{Qdx}{L}

Now, substitute this into 'dF':

d\vec{F} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{qQdx}{L(x+x_0)}(\^x)

Now we can integrate dF over the rod.

\vec{F} = \int{d\vec{F}} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{qQ}{L}\int\limits^{L}_0 {\frac{1}{x+x_0}} \, dx = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{qQ}{L}(\ln(L+x_0)-\ln(x_0))(\^x)

The 480 g bar is rotating as shown what is the angular momentum of the bar about the axle?
Greeley [361]
On a similar problem wherein instead of 480 g, a 650 gram of bar is used:

Angular momentum L = Iω, where 
<span>I = the moment of inertia about the axis of rotation, which for a long thin uniform rod rotating about its center as depicted in the diagram would be 1/12mℓ², where m is the mass of the rod and ℓ is its length. The mass of this particular rod is not given but the length of 2 meters is. The moment of inertia is therefore </span>
<span>I = 1/12m*2² = 1/3m kg*m² </span>

<span>The angular momentum ω = 2πf, where f is the frequency of rotation. If the angular momentum is to be in SI units, this frequency must be in revolutions per second. 120 rpm is 2 rev/s, so </span>
<span>ω = 2π * 2 rev/s = 4π s^(-1) </span>

<span>The angular momentum would therefore be </span>
<span>L = Iω </span>
<span>= 1/3m * 4π </span>
<span>= 4/3πm kg*m²/s, where m is the rod's mass in kg. </span>

<span>The direction of the angular momentum vector - pseudovector, actually - would be straight out of the diagram toward the viewer. </span>

<span>Edit: 650 g = 0.650 kg, so </span>
<span>L = 4/3π(0.650) kg*m²/s </span>
<span>≈ 2.72 kg*m²/s</span>

The bell rings and a physics student heads to class. They stop to talk to a few friends. They slow
grin007 [14]

Answer:

420m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Time  = 5minutes

Average speed  = 1.4m/s

Unknown:

Distance covered  = ?

Solution:

Speed is the rate of change of distance with time.

 Mathematically;

              Speed  = \frac{distance}{time}  

    Distance  = speed x time

 

Insert the parameters and solve;

   Convert the time to seconds;

              1 minute = 60s

               5 minute = 5  x 60 = 300s

So,

   Insert the parameters and find the distance;

     Distance  = 300 x 1.4  = 420m
