If we fill a tube 2 m long with seawater and connect a 12-volt battery, what is the resulting average drift velocity of the ions (Answer in cm/s)?arrow_forwardWhich of these are TRUE: 1. Benjamin Franklin interpreted the negative terminal as an area where it lacks electrons 2. Resistivity is measured in ohms. 3. At high temperature, the vibrations of the atoms of the conductor increases 4. A conductor has electric current with or without potential difference 5. Only electron flow is acceptable in interpreting current flowarrow_forward
- What is the difference between conventional current and electron current? What do they have in common? Why is the drift velocity of electrons in a conductor so much slower than the actual speed the charges are moving? Historically, why did scientists refer to sources of potential difference as emf ( aka electromotive force)? Is this label in any way misleading? Explain.arrow_forwardThe first Leyden jar was probably discovered by a German clerk named E. Georg von Kleist. Because von Kleist was not a scientist and did not keep good records, the credit for the discovery of the Leyden jar usually goes to physicist Pieter Musschenbroek from Leyden, Holland. Musschenbroek accidentally discovered the Leyden jar when he tried to charge a jar of water and shocked himself by touching the wire on the inside of the jar while holding the jar on the outside. He said that the shock was no ordinary shock and his body shook violently as though he had been hit by lightning. The energy from the jar that passed through his body was probably around 1 J, and his jar probably had a capacitance of about 1 nF. a. Estimate the charge that passed through Musschenbroeks body. b. What was the potential difference between the inside and outside of the Leyden jar before Musschenbroek discharged it?arrow_forward(Indicates a review question, which means it requires only a basic understanding of the material to answer. Questions without this designation typically require integrating or extending the concepts presented thus far.) . Six resistors, all having the same temperatures and compositions, are each attached to a battery with voltage V to form a simple circuit. The resistors have different lengths, l, but the same diameters. Rank the circuits according to the current that flows through the resistor from smallest to greatest. If two (or more) circuits have the same current flowing, give them the same ranking. Explain the rationale you used to establish your rankings. Circuit 1: l = 2 cm; V = 3 V Circuit 2: l = 2 cm; V = 6 V Circuit 3: l = 1 cm; V = 3 V Circuit 4: l = 1 cm; V = 6 V Circuit 5: l = 3cm; V = 2 V Circuit 6: l = 3cm; V = 6 Varrow_forward

Find the diffusion current at x = 5mm?arrow_forwardIn the last column in the data table, it says that it's about voltage(v) divided by current(A) is equal to ohms so V/A = ohms. So if it's V/A and if you divide them to get the slope it's (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) then shouldn't V be the y value and A be the x value? And can you also try to use a line of best bit instead of drawing the line through each dot?arrow_forward
- a) How many electrons are contained in one coulomb of charge? b) When a resistor conducts electric current, its temperature increases. Explain how this phenomenon is significant to the application of resistors in electric circuits. In other words, why would we care about a resistor's temperature increasing? c) Define SI unit of the following: Resistance, Voltage, Current, Power d) The potential difference across a capacitor is 5.0 V and the charge on the capacitor is 150nC. Determine the charge on the capacitor when the potential difference is 10.0 Varrow_forwardPLEASE ANSER THIS EXERCISE. THIS IS NOT A GRADED QUESTION. 1. Good thermal conductors are said to be good electrical conductors. If so, why is it that cords used to connect toasters, irons, and heat-producting apoliances get hot by the conduction of heat from the heating element? 2. How would you expect the resistivity of a good insulator such as glass or polysterene to vary with temperature? 3. A fuse is a device that is designed to break the circuit. It melts when the current exceeds its value. What characteristics should the material have?arrow_forwardA solar cell, 2.5 cm squared, has an output of 350 mA at 0.90 V when exposed to full sunlight. A solar panel that delivers at least 1.2 A of current at an emf of at least 133 V to an external load is needed. Solve 2A and 2B. 2A) How many cells will you need to create the panel? Question 13 2B) How big a panel will you need, in square meters?arrow_forward
