Chapter 27: Q. 21 (page 762)

21. A 0.0075V/m electric field creates a 3.9mA current in a 1.0-mm-diameter wire. What material is the wire made of?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The material is the wire made of Nichrome.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The electric field in the wire is 0.0075V/m.The current through the wire is 3.9mA. The diameter of the wire is 1.0-mm-diameter wire.

So, the radius isr=0.5mm=5脳10-4m.

02

Explanation

Determine the material from its conductivity 蟽 by,
J=蟽E(1)
whereJ=I蟺r2is the current density . That means the current per square meter passing through a cross section of the wire -- andE is the electric field strength in the material.
Plugging the formula for the current density into equation (1) and solving for 蟽,
蟽=IE蟺r2(2)

03

Explanation

The Calculation: Now we can simply plug these values into equation (2):蟽=IE蟺r2
=3.9脳10鈭�3A(0.0075V/m)蟺5脳10鈭�4m2

=6.6脳105惟鈭�1脳m鈭�1

The only material with a conductivity near6.6脳105惟-1脳m-1 is Nichrome.
04

Final answer

The material the wire is made from Nichrome.

The mean time between collisions in iron is 4.2脳10-15s. What electron current is driven through a 1.8mmdiameter iron wire by a role="math" localid="1648885652366" 0.065V/melectric field ?

The biochemistry that takes place inside cells depends on various elements, such as sodium, potassium, and calcium, that are dissolved in water as ions. These ions enter cells through narrow pores in the cell membrane known as ion channels. Each ion channel, which is formed from a specialized protein molecule, is selective for one type of ion. Measurements with microelectrodes have shown that a 0.30nmdiameter potassium ion K+channel carries a current of role="math" localid="1649134390247" 1.8pA.

a. How many potassium ions pass through if the ion channel opens for 1.0ms?

b. What is the current density in the ion channel?
