Current passes through a solution of sodium chloride. In

1.00s,2.68×1016Na+ions arrive at the negative electrode and3.92×1016CI-

ions arrive at the positive electrode. (a) What is the current passing between

the electrodes? (b) What is the direction of the current?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The current passing between the electrodes is .

b) The direction of current is towards the negative electrode.

Step by step solution

01

Define the current I .

The charge Q per unit time t is known as the currentI.

I=Qt

Here, I is current in ampere A, Q is charge in Columbus Cand is time in secs.

02

Determine the value of the current.

(a)

Determine the current between the electrodes as:

I=Qt=numberofNa++numberofCI-×qt=2.68×1016+3.92×1016×-1.6×10-191.00=10.56mA

Hence, current passing between the electrodes is 10.56mAand the direction of current is towards the negative electrode.

03

Determine the direction of current.

(b)

Since, the value of the current is positive so the charge flows from positive side to

the negative electrodes.

In the circuit shown in Fig. E26.20, the rate at which R1 is dissipating electrical energy is 15.0 W. (a) Find R1 and R2. (b) What is the emf of the battery? (c) Find the current through both R2 and the 10.0 Ω resistor. (d) Calculate the total electrical power consumption in all the resistors and the electrical power delivered by the battery. Show that your results are consistent with conservation of energy.

When switch Sin Fig. E25.29 is open, the voltmeter V reads 3.08 V. When the switch is closed, the voltmeter reading drops to 2.97 V, and the ammeter A reads 1.65 A. Find the emf, the internal resistance of the battery, and the circuit resistance R. Assume that the two meters are ideal, so they don’t affect the circuit.

A25.0-Ωbulb is connected across the terminals of a12.0-Vbattery having3.50Ωof internal resistance. What percentage of the power of the battery is dissipated across the internal resistance and hence is not available to the bulb?

A cylindrical rod has resistivity ÒÏ. If we triple its length and diameter, what is its resistivity in terms ofrole="math" localid="1655715631515" ÒÏ .

A light bulb glows because it has resistance. The brightness of a light bulb increases with the electrical power dissipated in the bulb. (a) In the circuit shown in Fig. Q25.14a, the two bulbs A and B are identical. Compared to bulb A, does bulb B glow more brightly, just as brightly, or less brightly? Explain your reasoning. (b) Bulb B is removed from the circuit and the circuit is completed as shown in Fig. Q25.14b. Compared to the brightness of bulb A in Fig. Q25.14a, does bulb A now glow more brightly, just as brightly, or less brightly? Explain your reasoning
