Activity # 6
Ohm's Law
Problem #1
About 1020 electrons/cm participate in conducting electric current in a certain
wire. What is the average speed of the electrons when there is a current of IA in the
wire?

Problem #2
A current of 3.6A flows through an automobile headlight. How many coulombs of
charge flow through the headlight in 3.0h?

Problem #3
Suppose that the resistance between the walls of a biological cell is 5.0x109Q.
(A) What is the current when the potential difference between the walls is 75mV? (B)
If the current is composed of Na+ ions ( q=+e ), how many such ions flow in 0.50s?
 Problem #4
In household wiring, copper wire 2.05mm in diameter is often used. Find the resistance
of a 24.0m length of this wire.

Problem #5
A cylindrical copper cable carries a current of 1200A . There is a potential difference of
1.6x10-2V between two points on the cable that are 0.24m apart. What is the radius of
the cable?
Problem #6
A copper wire has a square cross-section 2.3mm on a side. The wire is 4.0m long
and carries a current of 3.6A. The density of free electrons is 8.5x10 28/m3. How much
time is required for an electron to travel the length of the wire?
