Step by step solution

01

The given data

Figure 26-17 is the rectangular solid conductor of edge lengths L, 2L or 3L.

02

Understanding the concept of the electric field, current density and drift velocity

To explain the electrostatic force between the two charges, we assume that the charges create an electric field around them. The magnitude of electric field E set up by the electric charge q at a distance r is given as,

E=q40r2

The current density is electric current per unit cross-section area at a given point. The drift velocity of the electrons is the average velocity attained by the electrons.

We can use the formulae for the electric field, current density, current, and drift velocity to rank the given pairs of faces according to an electric field, current density, current, and the drift speed of the electrons.

Formulae:

The strength of the electric field,E=Vd 鈥(颈)

Here,E is the electric field,V is the potential difference, and is the separation between the two plates.

The current density of the material has a uniform current,J=IA 鈥(颈颈)

Here,J is the current density,I is current, andA is the area of the cross-section.

The drift velocity of electrons,Vd=Jne 鈥(颈颈颈)

Here,vd is the drift velocity of the electrons,J is the current density,n is the number of electrons, and is the charge of electrons.

03

(a) Calculation of the rank due to the magnitude of the electric field

From equation (i), the electric field depends on the separation between the two faces of the conductor.

For left-right faces, the electric field through this face is given by,

ELR=V3L

For top 鈥揵ottom faces, the electric field through this face is given by,

ETB=VL

For front-back faces, the electric field through this face is given by,

EFB=V2L

From this, we can rank the pairs according to the magnitude of electric fields as,

ETB>EFB>ELR

04

(b) Calculation of the rank according to current density:

Current density depends on area here, because the charge flow will be same, considering equation (ii).

For left-right faces, the current density from this face is given by:

JLR=I2IL=2IL2

For top 鈥揵ottom faces, the current density from this face is given by:

JTB=I2L3L=6IL2

For front-back faces, the current density from this face is given by:

JFB=IL3L=3IL2

From the above equations, we can rank the pairs according to the current density as,

JTB>JFB>JLR

05

(c) Calculation of the rank according to the current flowing through it

For left-right faces, the current through this face using equation (ii) and above values is given by:

ILR=J(2L2)

For top 鈥揵ottom faces, the current through this face using equation (ii) and above values is given by:

ITB=J(6L2)

For front-back faces, the current through this face using equation (ii) and above values is given by:

IFB=J(3L2)

From the above equations, we can rank the pairs according to the current as,

ITB>IFB>ILR

06

(d) Calculation of the rank according to the drift speed of the electrons

Here, the drift velocity is directly proportional to the current density considering equation (iii).

From part b), we can write,JTB>JFB>JLR

Hence, the rank value according to their speeds is vdTB>vdFB>vdLR.

Figure 26-19 shows four situations in which positive and negative charges move horizontally and gives the rate at which each charge moves. Rank the situations according to the effective current through the regions, greatest first.

(a)At what temperature would the resistance of a copper conductor be double its resistance at20.00C? (Use 20.00Cas the reference point in Eq. 26-17; compare your answer withFig. 26-10.)

The chocolate crumb mystery.This story begins with Problem 60 in Chapter 23 and continues through Chapters 24 and 25.The chocolate crumb powder moved to the silo through a pipe of radius Rwith uniform speed vand uniform charge density r. (a) Find an expression for the current i(the rate at which charge on the powder moved) through a perpendicular cross section of the pipe. (b) Evaluate ifor the conditions at the factory: pipe radius R = 5.0 cm, speed v = 2.0 m/s ,and charge density p =1.110-3C/m3. If the powder were to flow through a change Vin electric potential, its energy could be transferred to a spark at the rate P = iV. (c) Could there be such a transfer within the pipe due to the radial potential difference discussed in Problem 70 of Chapter 24? As the powder flowed from the pipe into the silo, the electric potential of the powder changed. The magnitude of that change was at least equal to the radial potential difference within the pipe (as evaluated in Problem 70 of Chapter 24). (d) Assuming that value for the potential difference and using the current found in (b) above, find the rate at which energy could have been transferred from the powder to a spark as the powder exited the pipe. (e) If a spark did occur at the exit and lasted for 0.20 s (a reasonable expectation), how much energy would have been transferred to the spark? Recall from Problem 60 in Chapter 23 that a minimum energy transfers ofis needed to cause an explosion. (f) Where did the powder explosion most likely occur: in the powder cloud at the unloading bin (Problem 60 of Chapter 25), within the pipe, or at the exit of the pipe into the silo?
