(a) An expression for the total amount of charge that has entered the wire at time is -4e-t/2

(b) Graph Qversus tfor the interval 0≤t≤10μsis,

Step by step solution

01

Given information Part (a)

The current in a wire at time is given by the expression I=(2.0A)e-A[2.0μs), where tindicates microseconds and Iindicates the current intensity.

02

Explanation Part (a)

For a time t that starts at zero and increases, this question shows how current,I, is related to time, t.

I=(2.0A)e−t2.0μs

Find the charge, Q, as a function of time where at t=0μs,Q=0C

A charge is the integral of current with respect to time,

Q=∫Idt

Substitute (2.0A)e-t2.0μsfor Q,

Q=∫(2.0A)e-t2.0μsdt

=-(2.0A)(2.0μs)e-t2.0μs

=(-4.0μC)e-t2.0μs+C

Here, Cis the constant of integration.

Solve for Cby plugging in the initial conditions of charge and time,

0=(-4.0μC)e-02.0μs+C

=(-4.0μC)(1)+C

Solve for Cto get,

C=4.0A×μs

Substitute the value of C in above expression,

Q=(-4.0μC)e-t2.0μs+4.0μC

Total amount of charge entered the wire at timetis(-4.0μC)e-t2.0μs+4.0μC

03

Given information (Part b)

Graph Qversus tfor the interval 0≤t≤10μs. Where Qindicates the charge quantity.

04

Explanation Part (b)

Conspiring this process with a graph will show the ensuing linear relation.

The expression for the charge in the wire a time tis

Q=(-4.0μC)e-t2.0μs+4.0μC

75. A 300μFcapacitor is charged to 9.0V, then connected in parallel with a 5000Ωresistor. The capacitor will discharge because the resistor provides a conducting pathway between the capacitor plates, but much more slowly than if the plates were connected by a wire. Let t=0s be the instant the fully charged capacitor is first connected to the resistor. At what time has the capacitor voltage decreased by half, to 4.5V?
Hint: The current through the resistor is related to the rate at which charge is leaving the capacitor. Consequently, you'll need a minus sign that you might not have expected.

The resistivity of a metal increases slightly with increased temperature. This can be expressed as ÒÏ=ÒÏ01+αT-T0, where T0is a reference temperature, usually 20°C, and αis the temperature coefficient of resistivity. For copper, α=3.9×10-3C∘-1. Suppose a long. thin copper wire has a resistance of 0.25Ωat 20°C. At what temperature, in C∘, will its resistance be 0.30Ω?

In an integrated circuit, the current density in a 2.5m-thick×75μm-widewide gold film is localid="1648893767234" 7.5×105A/m2. How much charge flows through the film in 15min?

70. Two 10-cm-diameter metal plates 1.0cm apart are charged to ±12.5nC. They are suddenly connected together by a0.224-mm- diameter copper wire stretched taut from the center of one plate to the center of the other.
a. What is the maximum current in the wire?
b. Does the current increase with time, decrease with time, or remain steady? Explain.
c. What is the total amount of energy dissipated in the wire?

An engineer cuts a 1.0mlong, 0.33mmdiameter piece of wire, connects it across a 1.5Vbattery, and finds that the current in the wire is8.0A. Of what material is the wire made?
