The electron drift speed in a diameter gold wire is . How long does it take 1 mole of electrons to flow through a cross section of the wire?
Which, if any, of these statements are true? (More than one may be true.) Explain. Assume the batteries are ideal.
a. A battery supplies the energy to a circuit.
b. A battery is a source of potential difference; the potential difference between the terminals of the battery is always the same.
c. A battery is a source of current; the current leaving the battery is always the same.
a. How long must a diameter aluminum wire be to have a current when connected to the terminals of a flashlight battery?
b. What is the current if the wire is half this length?
A wire of radius has a current density that increases linearly with distance from the center of the wire: , where is a constant. Find an expression for in terms of and the total currentcarried by the wire.
The resistivity of a metal increases slightly with increased temperature. This can be expressed as , where is a reference temperature, usually , and is the temperature coefficient of resistivity. For copper, . Suppose a long. thin copper wire has a resistance of at . At what temperature, in , will its resistance be ?
