Get started for freeAn electron moves at through a regionin which there is a magnetic field of unspecified direction and magnitude . (a) What are the largest and smallest possible magnitudes of the acceleration of the electron due to the magnetic field? (b) If the actual acceleration of the electron is one-fourth of the largest magnitude in part (a), what is the angle
between the electron velocity and the magnetic field?
Abulb is connected across the terminals of abattery havingof internal resistance. What percentage of the power of the battery is dissipated across the internal resistance and hence is not available to the bulb?
A 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?
The heating element of an electric dryer is rated at 4.1 kW when connected to a 240-V line. (a) What is the current in the heating element? Is 12-gauge wire large enough to supply this current? (b) What is the resistance of the dryer’s heating element at its operating temperature? (c) At 11 cents per kWh, how much does it cost per hour to operate the dryer?
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?
