The current in a wire varies with time according to the relationship
. (a) How many coulombs of charge pass a cross section of the wire in
the time interval between and role="math" localid="1655721302619" ? (b) What constant current would transport the
same charge in the same time interval?
The potential difference across the terminals of a battery is 8.40 V when there is a current of 1.50 A in the battery from the negative to the positive terminal. When the current is 3.50 A in the reverse direction, the potential difference becomes10.20 V . (a) What is the internal resistance of the battery? (b) What is the emf of the battery?
An 18-gauge copper wire (diameter 1.02 mm) carries a current
with a current density of . The density of free electrons for
copper iselectrons per cubic meter. Calculate (a) the current in
the wire and (b) the drift velocity of electrons in the wire.
(See Discussion Question Q25.14.) An ideal ammeter A is placed in a circuit with a battery and a light bulb as shown in Fig. Q25.15a, and the ammeter reading is noted. The circuit is then reconnected as in Fig. Q25.15b, so that the positions of the ammeter and light bulb are reversed. (a) How does the ammeter reading in the situation shown in Fig. Q25.15a compare to the reading in the situation shown in Fig. Q25.15b? Explain your reasoning. (b) In which situation does the light bulb glow more brightly? Explain your reasoning.
