Get started for freeEach of the lettered points at the corners of the cube in Fig. Q27.12 represents a positive charge moving with a velocity of magnitude in the direction indicated. The region in the figure is in a uniform magnetic field , parallel to the x-axis and directed toward the right. Which charges experience a force due to ? What is the direction of the force on each charge?
In the circuit shown in Fig. E26.41, both capacitors are initially charged to 45.0 V. (a) How long after closing the switch S will the potential across each capacitor be reduced to 10.0 V, and (b) what will be the current at that time?
In the circuit shown in Fig. E25.30, the 16.0-V battery is removed and reinserted with the opposite polarity, so that its negative terminal is now next to point a. Find (a) the current in the circuit (magnitude anddirection); (b) the terminal voltage Vbaof the 16.0-V battery; (c) the potential difference Vacof point awith respect to point c. (d) Graph the potential rises and drops in this circuit (see Fig. 25.20).
Copper has free electrons per cubic meter. A 71.0-cm
length of 12-gauge copper wire that is 2.05 mm in diameter carries 4.85 A of
current. (a) How much time does it take for an electron to travel the length
of the wire? (b) Repeat part (a) for 6-gauge copper wire (diameter 4.12 mm)
of the same length that carries the same current. (c) Generally speaking,
how does changing the diameter of a wire that carries a given amount of
current affect the drift velocity of the electrons in the wire?
In Europe the standard voltage in homes is 220 V instead of the 120 used in the United States. Therefore a “100-W” European bulb would be intended for use with a 220-V potential difference (see Problem 25.36). (a) If you bring a “100-W” European bulb home to the United States, what should be its U.S. power rating? (b) How much current will the 100-W European bulb draw in normal use in the United States?
