In a given fluid, positive ions, each with three excess protons, move towards right at a steady rate of 4.5 x 1019 ions per minute and negative ions, each with two excess electron, move towards left at a steady rate of 2.5 x 1020 ions per minute. Determine the current directed to the right.An electric circuit has a battery with an EMF of 1.50 V. Its positive terminal is connected to its negative terminal by a copper wire in a circular loop having a radius of 0.500 m. Solve for the drift velocity in the wire if there is one free electron per copper atom.
State which of the following statements are true and which are false. Give reasons for your
answers.
a) A very simple circuit consists of a battery connected across a resistor. In this circuit, the
battery and the resistor are both in series and also in parallel.
b) A resistor R and a capacitor C connected in series combine as = +

c) Natural uranium is not radioactive until it has been processed by enrichment for use in
fission reactors or bombs.
d) Infrared light is more likely to cause electrons to be emitted from a metal than ultraviolet
light.
e) Special and General Relativity effects both matter for the operation of GPS, the former slow-
ing down the clocks on GPS satellites relative to clocks on Earth and the latter speeding
them up.
