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?
Current passes through a solution of sodium chloride. In
ions arrive at the negative electrode and
ions arrive at the positive electrode. (a) What is the current passing between
the electrodes? (b) What is the direction of the current?
A cylindrical rod of diameter is connected to
a power supply that maintains a constant potential difference of across
its ends, while an ammeter measures the current through it. You observe that
at room temperature the ammeter reads while at it
reads . You can ignore any thermal expansion of the rod. Find (a) the
resistivity at and (b) the temperature coefficient of resistivity at for the material of the rod.
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).
Electric eels generate electric pulses along their skin that can be used to stun an enemy when they come into contact with it. Tests have shown that these pulses can be up to and produce currents of (or even larger). A typical pulse lasts for . What power and how much energy are delivered to the unfortunate enemy with a single pulse, assuming a steady current?
