Get started for freeA 5.00-A current runs through a 12-gauge copper wire (diameter
2.05 mm) and through a light bulb. Copper hasfree electrons per
cubic meter. (a) How many electrons pass through the light bulb each
second? (b) What is the current density in the wire? (c) At what speed does
a typical electron pass by any given point in the wire? (d) If you were to use
wire of twice the diameter, which of the above answers would change?
Would they increase or decrease?
Question: A conducting sphere is placed between two charged parallel plates such as those shown in Figure. Does the electric field inside the sphere depend on precisely where between the plates the sphere is placed? What about the electric potential inside the sphere? Do the answers to these questions depend on whether or not there is a net charge on the sphere? Explain your reasoning.
Questions: A conductor that carries a net charge has a hollow, empty cavity in its interior. Does the potential vary from point to point within the material of the conductor? What about within the cavity? How does the potential inside the cavity compare to the potential within the material of the conductor?
A heart defibrillator is used to enable the heart to start beating if it has stopped. This is done by passing a large current ofthrough the body atfor a very short time, usuallyabout . (a) What power does the defibrillator deliver to the body, and (b) how much energy is transferred ?
In the circuit shown in Fig. E26.47 each capacitor initially has a charge of magnitude 3.50 nC on its plates. After the switch S is closed, what will be the current in the circuit at the instant that the capacitors have lost 80.0% of their initial stored energy?
