1. A current of 4 amperes flows through a wire 20 meters long and diameter of 0.5 centimeter. How
many electrons pass through a given cross-sectional area of the said conductor in 2 milliseconds?
Use 1.602 x 10-19 Coulomb per electron.
2. A certain conductor has a free electron density of 2 x 10 30 electrons per cubic feet. Its circular cross-
sectional area is 150,000 square mils and 120 meters long. Its resistivity at 30 degrees Celsius is
0.9 x 10-8 ohm-meter. If a current of 3 A passes thru this conductor, find the drift velocity in mm per
second.
