Chapter 2: 50P-c (page 45)

Question: The following questions refer to the circuit shown in Figure 18.114, consisting of two flashlight batteries and two Nichrome wires of different lengths and different thicknesses as shown (corresponding roughly to your own thick and thin Nichrome wires).

The thin wire is 50 cm long, and its diameter is 0.25 mm. The thick wire is 15 cm long, and its diameter is 0.35 mm. (a) The emf of each flashlight battery is 1.5 V. Determine the steady-state electric field inside each Nichrome wire. Remember that in the steady state you must satisfy both the current node rule and energy conservation. These two principles give you two equations for the two unknown fields. (b) The electron mobility

in room-temperature Nichrome is about 7脳10-5(ms)(Ns). Show that it takes an electron 36 min to drift through the two Nichrome wires from location B to location A. (c) On the other hand, about how long did it take to establish the steady state when the circuit was first assembled? Give a very approximate numerical answer, not a precise one. (d) There are about 9脳1028mobile electrons per cubic meter in Nichrome. How many electrons cross the junction between the two wires every second?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The time taken by electron is 1.5 ns.

Step by step solution

01

Write the given data from the question.

The thin wire is 50 cm long and the diameter is 0.25 mm.

The flashlight battery is 1.5 V.

02

Determine the formulas

Write the formula for the drift speed of the electron.

03

Determine the time taken to obtain the steady state

Consider the electrical field is propagating the speed at .

Here, the shift of the electron sea takes very little time as the electron moves a very little distance. So the time taken to make a change of 0.5 m is 1.5 ns.

As shown in Figure 19.74, a spherical metal shell of radius r1has a charge Q(on its surface) and is surrounded by a concentric spherical metal shell of radius r2which has a charge -Q(on its inner surface).

(a) Use the definition of capacitance: Q=C|鈻�V|to find the capacitance of this spherical capacitor.

(b) If the radii of the spherical shells r1and r2are large and nearly equal to each other, show that Ccan be written as 蔚0As(which is also the equation for the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor) where A=4蟺谤2is the surface area of one of the spheres, and sis the small gap distance between them r2=r1+s.

Two circular plates of radius 0.12 mare separated by an air gap of 1.5 mm. The plates carry charge+Qand-Qwhere Q=3.6脳10-8C. (a) What is the magnitude of the electric field in the gap? (b) What is the potential difference across the gap? (c) What is the capacitance of this capacitor?

A tennis ball has a mass of 0.057kg.A professional tennis player hits the ball hard enough to give it a speed of 50 m/s (about 120 mi/h). The ball hits a wall and bounces back with almost the same speed (50m/s). As indicated in Figure 2.55 , high-speed photography shows that the ball is crushed 2 cm (0.02 m) at the instant when its speed is moment0arily zero, before rebounding.

Making the very rough approximation that the large force that the wall exerts on the ball is approximately constant during contact, determine the approximate magnitude of this force. Hint: Think about the approximate amount of time it takes for the ball to come momentarily to rest. (For comparison note that the gravitational force on the ball is quite small, only about (0.057 kg) (9.8 N/kg) 鈮�0.6 N. A force of5N is approximately the same as a force of one pound.)

A spherical satellite of approximately uniform density with radius\(4.8m\)and mass\(205kg\)is originally moving with velocity\(\left\langle {2600,0,0} \right\rangle m/s,\)and is originally rotating with an angular speed\(2rad/s,\)in the direction shown in the diagram. A small piece of space junk of mass\(4.1kg\)is initially moving toward the satellite with velocity\(\left\langle { - 2200,0,0} \right\rangle m/s.\)The space junk hits the edge of the satellite at location C as shown in Figure 11.97, and moves off with a new velocity\(\left\langle { - 1300,480,0} \right\rangle m/s.\)Both before and after the collision, the rotation of the space junk is negligible.

A space station has the form of a hoop of radius R=14m, with mass M=6250 kg(Figure 11.91). Initially its center of mass is not moving, but it is spinning with angular speed 蝇0=0.0013rad/sThen a small package of mass m=6kgis thrown by a spring-loaded gun toward a nearby spacecraft as shown; the package has a speedv=40m/s after launch. Calculate the center-of-mass velocity of the space station and its rational speed after the launch.
