Answer is 240 ohms

Use the equation V=IR, rearranging it to make R (resistance) the subject.

R = V/I

Substitute the values:
V = 120
I = 0.5

Resistance = 120 / 0.5

Resistance = 240 ohms

A silver wire has a cross sectional area a = 2.0 mm2. a total of 9.4 × 1018 electrons pass through the wire in 3.0 s. the conduc
marta [7]
This problem uses the relationships among current I, current density J, and drift speed vd. We are given the total of electrons that pass through the wire in t = 3s and the area A, so we use the following equation to to find vd, from J and the known electron density n, so: 

v_{d} =  \frac{J}{n\left | q \right |}

<span>The current I is any motion of charge from one region to another, so this is given by:

</span>I = \frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta t} = \frac{9.4x1018electrons}{3s} = 3189.73(A)

The magnitude of the current density is:

J = \frac{I}{A} = \frac{3189.73}{2x10^{-6}} = 1594.86(A/m^{2})

Being:

A=2mm^{2} = 2x10^{-6}m^{2}
<span>
Finally, for the drift velocity magnitude vd, we find:

</span>v_{d} = \frac{1594.86}{5.8x1028\left |1.60x10^{-19}|\right } = 1.67x10^{18}(m/s)

Notice: The current I is very high for this wire. The given values of the variables are a little bit odd
