25.3: a) b) Ifthe diameter is now 4.12 mm, the time can be calculated using the formula above oor comparing the ratio of the areas, and yields a time of 26542 s ~442 min, ©) The drift velocity depends on the diameter of the wire as an inverse square relationship. 25.4: The cross-sectional area of the wire is The current density is25.6: The atomic weight of copper is and its density is The number of copper atoms in Since there are the same number of free as there are atoms of (see Ex. 25.1), The number of free electrons per copper atom is one. 25.7: Consider 1 of silver. If there is one free electron per This agrees with the value given in Exercise 25.2. 25.8: a) b) Current flows, by convention, in the direction of positive charge. Thus, current flows with toward the negative electrode. 25.9: a) b) The same charge would flow in 10 seconds if there was a constant current of: 25.10: a) b) c) Time to travel the wire’s length: 25.11:25.12: 25.13: a) tungsten: b) aluminum: 25.14: 25.1 : Find the volume of one of the wires: aa 3.50em, |
