3. Explain how rubbing two objects together causes them to have equal and opposite charges. 14. Each of these circuits contains an identical battery. In which of these circuits is the resistance the largest? battery battery battery 560 Q 100 Q 220 Q C B 15. Describe what happens when an atom is ionized. 16. State how ionization differs from polarization. You will not receive credit if all you do is define either of those terms.

What current flows through a 2.54-cm-diameter rod of pure silicon that is 20.0 cm long, when 1,00 103 V is applied to it? (Such a rod may be used to make nuclear-particle detectors, for example.)
It was stated that the motion of an electron appears nearly random when an electrical field is applied to the conductor. What makes the motion nearly random and differentiates it from the random motion of molecules in a gas?
Some television tubes are CRTs. They use an approximately 30-kV accelerating potential to send electrons to the screen, where the stimulate phosphors to emit the light that forms the pictures we watch. Would you expect x rays also to be treated?
If you pick up and shake a piece of metal that has electrons in it free to move as a current, no electrons fall out. Yet if you heat the metal, electrons can be boiled off. Explain both of these facts as they relate to the amount and distribution of energy involved with shaking the object as compared with heating it.
How does BCS theory explain superconductivity?
Can a wire cany a current and still be neutral—that is, have a total charge of zero? Explain.
What is the current when a typical static charge of 0.250 C moves from your finger to a metal doorknob in 1.00 C?
Name two applications for superconductivity listed in this section and explain how superconductivity is used in the application. Can you think of a use for superconductivity that is not listed?
Integrated Concepts: A 12.0 V battery-operated bottle warmer heats 50.0 g of glass, 2.50 102 g of baby formula, and 2.00 102 g of aluminum from 20.0°C to 90.0°C. (a) How much charge is moved by the battery? (b) How many electrons per second flow if it takes 5.00 mm to warm the formula? (Hint: Assume that the specific heat of baby formula is about the same as the specific heat of water.)
Explain the properties of myelinated nerves in terms of the insulating properties of myelin.
The planetary model of the atom pictures electrons orbiting the atomic nucleus much as planets orbit the Sun. In this model you can view hydrogen, the simplest atom, as having a single electron in a circular orbit 1.061010 m in diameter. (a) If the average speed of the electron in this orbit is known to be 2.20106 m/s, calculate the number of revolutions per second it makes about the nucleus. (b) What is the electron's average velocity?
If two different wires having identical cross-sectional areas carry the same current, will the drift velocity be higher or lower in the better conductor? Explain in terms of the equation vd=1nqA by considering how the density of charge carriers n srelates to whether or not a material is a good conductor.
