A cylindrical wire has length 40 cm, cross-sectional area 60 mm², and resistance 3.0 22. The wire is connected across the terminals of a 12-volt battery. (a) (b) (c) Calculate the current in the wire, the power dissipated in the wire, the magnitude of electric field in the wire, and the resistivity of the wire. Include SI units with all answers. In 20 minutes, how much energy does the battery deliver to the wire, and how many electrons pass through the wire? (Again, include SI units where appropriate. Each electron has charge of magnitude 1.6 x 10-19 C.) If the length of this wire were increased while its cross-sectional area remains fixed, would the resistivity of the wire increase, decrease, or remain unchanged? Explain your answer qualitatively, without performing any calculations.

Problem Description Two small metal spheres A and B have different electric potentials. Sphere A has charge qA = -6x10-6 C and sphere B has charge qB = +2x10-6 C. The radius of sphere A is 0.25 m and the radius of sphere B is 0.50 m. The two spheres are then connected with a wire. Instructions In a neat and organized fashion, write out a solution which includes the following: A sketch of the physical situation with all given physical quantities clearly labeled. If the description above consists of an initial and final state, both of these states should be represented in your sketch. Draw charge diagrams of the spheres before and after they are connected. Charges may be drawn directly on your sketches. Describe in words and mathematically what happens if you connect the spheres with a wire. Calculate the final charge on each sphere after they are connected. What assumptions did you make? Evaluate your answer to determine whether it is reasonable or not. Consider all aspects of your…
