Problem
A potentiometer is an instrument for measuring an unknown voltage in comparison to a standard voltage.
In the potentiometer shown in Figure 1.0 a 16.0-m stretch of wire AB is connected to a 9.00-V battery. The
resistance per unit length of the wire is 16.0 0/mm. The movable contact P is at point B. An ammeter (circle
with A inside) is connected to point A.

P1.15. A copper wire has a diameter of 2.05 mm
and carries a current of 15 A due solely to
clectrons. (These values are common in
residential wiring.) Each electron has a
charge of -1.60 × 10-19 C. Assume that the
free-electron (these are the electrons capable
of moving through the copper) concentration
in copper is 1029 electrons/m'. Find the
average velocity of the electrons in the wire.
