The molar conductivity of Na1 ions in aqueous solution at 25°C has been determined to be =.01 × 10-2 (V cm)-1 mol-1L. Assume an electric field of 1.0 × 102 V cm-1 is applied to the solution. Calculate the mobility and the drift velocity of Na1 ions.
A close analogy exists between the flow of energy by heat
because of a temperature difference (see Section 19.6) and
the flow of electric charge because of a potential difference.
In a metal, energy dQ and electrical charge dq are both
transported by free electrons. Consequently, a good electri-
cal conductor is usually a good thermal conductor as well.
Consider a thin conducting slab of thickness dx, area A,
and electrical conductivity ơ, with a potential difference dV
between opposite faces. (a) Show that the current I = dq/dt

In the analogous thermal conduction equation on the right
(Eq. 19.17), the rate dQ/dt of energy flow by heat (in SI units
of joules per second) is due to a temperature gradient
dT/dx in a material of thermal conductivity k. (b) State anal-
ogous rules relating the direction of the electric current to
the change in potential and relating the direction of…
A wire with a radius of 7.72mm is made of a conducting
material that has an atomic mass of 49.4 grams/mole and
a mass density of 7.78x10³ kg/m³. You can assume that
each atom of the material has one free electron
associated with it. What is the drift velocity in a 17.6 cm
long section of wire that is carrying 704 Amps? Assume
3 significant digits and units of mm/s. Watch out for
units!
