Homework Statement


A copper conductor with a cross-section of A and a length of is connected to a battery with a electromotive force of U. The resistance of the conductor is R, and the internal resistance of the battery is negligible.
U = 220 V
l = 10 m
A = 10 mm2
R = 0.01695 \Omega
Determine the average speed of the electrons!


The Attempt at a Solution


I know the electric current. But I have no idea how many electrons are moving.




I'm not a native speaker. I may have grammer mistakes.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I will give u all the equations u need(i think) and try to solve it by urself

I=dQ/dt
dQ=nqvAdt thus I=nqvA n is the charge concentration, v the electrons velocity, A surface area

J=I/A J is the current's density

v=J/nq

hope i helped
 
Hello everyone, I’m considering a point charge q that oscillates harmonically about the origin along the z-axis, e.g. $$z_{q}(t)= A\sin(wt)$$ In a strongly simplified / quasi-instantaneous approximation I ignore retardation and take the electric field at the position ##r=(x,y,z)## simply to be the “Coulomb field at the charge’s instantaneous position”: $$E(r,t)=\frac{q}{4\pi\varepsilon_{0}}\frac{r-r_{q}(t)}{||r-r_{q}(t)||^{3}}$$ with $$r_{q}(t)=(0,0,z_{q}(t))$$ (I’m aware this isn’t...
Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
