A certain cylindrical wire carries current. We draw a circle of radius raround its central axis in figure-ato determine the current iwithin the circle. Figure-bshows current ias a function of r2. The vertical scale is set by ,and the horizontal scale is set by, . (a) Is the current density uniform? (b) If so, what is its magnitude?
A block in the shape of a rectangular solid has a cross-sectional area of 3.50cm2across its width, a front-to-rear length of 15.8cm , and a resistance of . The block’s material contains conduction electrons/m3. A potential difference of 35.8 Vis maintained between its front and rear faces. (a) What is the current in the block? (b) If the current density is uniform, what is its magnitude? What are (c) the drift velocity of the conduction electrons and (d) the magnitude of the electric field in the block?
The headlights of a moving car require about 10 Afrom the 12 Valternator, which is driven by the engine. Assume the alternator isefficient (its output electrical power is 80%of its input mechanical power), and calculate the horsepower the engine must supply to run the lights.
A current is established in a gas discharge tube when a sufficiently high potential difference is applied across the two electrodes in the tube. The gas ionizes; electrons move toward the positive terminal and singly charged positive ions toward the negative terminal.(a)What is the current in a hydrogen discharge tube in which electrons andlocalid="1661417709864" protons move past a cross-sectional area of the tube each second? (b) Is the direction of the current densitytoward or away from the negative terminal?
Earth’s lower atmosphere contains negative and positive ions that are produced by radioactive elements in the soil and cosmic rays from space. In a certain region, the atmospheric electric field strength is 120V/mand the field is directed vertically down. This field causes singly charged positive ions, at a density of 620cm-3 , to drift downward and singly charged negative ions, at a density of 550cm-3 , to drift upward (Figure). The measured conductivity of the air in that region is. Calculate (a) the magnitude of the current density and (b) the ion drift speed, assumed to be the same for positive and negative ions.
