Questions: When a thunderstorm is approaching, sailors at sea sometimes observe a phenomenon called 鈥淪t. Elmo鈥檚 fire,鈥 a bluish flickering light at the tips of masts. What causes this? Why does it occur at the tips of masts? Why is the effect most pronounced when the masts are wet? (Hint: Seawater is a good conductor of electricity.)
A cylindrical rod has resistance . If we triple its length and diameter, what is its resistance in terms of R
A cylindrical rod of diameter is connected to
a power supply that maintains a constant potential difference of across
its ends, while an ammeter measures the current through it. You observe that
at room temperature the ammeter reads while at it
reads . You can ignore any thermal expansion of the rod. Find (a) the
resistivity at and (b) the temperature coefficient of resistivity at for the material of the rod.
Current passes through a solution of sodium chloride. In
ions arrive at the negative electrode and
ions arrive at the positive electrode. (a) What is the current passing between
the electrodes? (b) What is the direction of the current?
A particle with chargeis moving in a uniform magnetic fieldrole="math" localid="1655717557369"
The magnetic force on the particle is measured to berole="math" localid="1655717706597" (a) Calculate all the components of the velocity of the particle that you can from this information. (b) Are there
components of the velocity that are not determined by the measurement of the force? Explain. (c) Calculate the scalar product. What is the angle between velocity and force?
