Chapter 27: Q. 62 (page 764)

The two wires in FIGURE P27.62 are made of the same material. What are the current and the electron drift speed in the 2.0-mm-diameter segment of the wire?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The current and the electron drift speed in the 2.0-mmdiameter segment of the wire is vd2=0.5渭ms.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Wire 1 diameter =2.0mm

Wire 2 diameter=1.0mm

Drift speed Vd=2.0脳10-4m/s

CurrentI=2.0A

02

Explanation

The current will be the same,I=2A

In this case, the electron current (the number of electrons flowing per unit time) would also be the same because of the same current.

That is, ne1A1vd,1=ne2A2vd,2

Due to the same material on both sides, the densities can be simplified, and we can increase the area thanks to the circular pattern.

Simplify by蟺we get,

D12vd,1=D22vd,2

Find the drift speed at the second part as,

vd,2=D12D22vd,1

Substitute the values,

vd,2=1mm2mm脳0.2m/s

=0.05mm/s.

03

Final Answer

Hence, the current and the electron drift speed in the2.0mmdiameter segment of the wire is0.05mm/s.

An ideal battery would produce an extraordinarily large current if "shorted" by connecting the positive and negative terminals with a short wire of very low resistance. Real batteries do not. The current of a real battery is limited by the fact that the battery itself has resistance. What is the resistance of a 9.0V battery that produces a 21A current when shorted by a wire of negligible resistance?
