Suppose the battery in a clock wears out after moving Ten thousand coulombs of charge through the clock at a rate of 0.5 Ma how long did the clock run on does battery and how many electrons per second slowed?

answer :

a) 231.48 days

b) n = 3.125 * 10^15

Explanation:

Battery moved 10,000 coulombs

current rate = 0.5 mA

<u>A) Determine how long the clock run on the battery. use the relation below</u>

q = i * t ----- ( 1 )

q = charge , i = current , t = time

10000 = 0.5 * 10^-3 * t

hence t = 2 * 10^7 secs

hence the time = 231.48 days

<u>B) Determine how many electrons per second flowed </u>

q = n*e ------ ( 2 )

n = number of electrons

e = 1.6 * 10^-19

q = 0.5 * 10^-3 coulomb ( charge flowing per electron )

back to equation 2

n ( number of electrons ) = q / e = ( 0.5 * 10^-3 ) / ( 1.6 * 10^-19 )

hence : n = 3.125 * 10^15

When a current flows in an aluminum wire of diameter 2.91 mm 2.91 mm , the drift speed of the conduction electrons is 0.000191 m

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

Number of electrons are flowing per second is 2.42 x 10¹⁹

Explanation:

The electric current flows through a wire is given by the relation :

$I=envA$ ....(1)

Here I is current, e is electronic charge, v is drift velocity of electrons and A is the Area of the wire.

But electric current is also define as rate of electrons passing through junction times their charge, i.e. ,

$I=Ne$ ....(2)

Here N is the rate of electrons passing through junction.

From equation (1) and (2).

$eN = envA$

$N=nvA$

But area of wire, $A=\pi \frac{d^{2} }{4}$

Here d is diameter of wire.

So, $N = nv\pi \frac{d^{2} }{4}$

Substitute 2.91 x 10⁻³ m for d, 0.000191 m/s for v and 6 x 10²⁸ m⁻³ for n in the above equation.

$N = 6\times10^{28}\times 0.000191\times\pi \frac{(2.91\times10^{-3} )^{2} }{4}$

N = 2.42 x 10¹⁹ s⁻¹
