Using the results of the above example on Example 20.3, find the drift velocity in a copper wire of twice the diameter and carrying 20.0A.
Integrated Concepts Derive an expression for the current in a system like that in Figure 23.11, under the following conditions. The resistance between the rails is R, the rails and the moving red are identical in cross section A and have the same resistivity . The distance between the rails is l, and the rod moves at constant speed v perpendicular to the uniform field B. At time zero, the moving red is next to the resistance R.
Analog meters use a galvanometer, which essentially consists of a coil of wire with a small resistance and a pointer with a scale attached. When current runs through the coil, the pointer turns; die amount the pointer turns is proportional to the amount of current running through the coil. Galvanometers can be used to make an ammeter if a resistor is placed in parallel with the galvanometer. Consider a galvanometer that has a resistance of 25.00and gives a full scale reading when a 50A current runs through it. The galvanometer is to be used to make an ammeter that has a full scale reading of 10.00 A, as shown below. Recall that an ammeter is connected in series with the circuit of interest, so all 10 A must tun through the meter, (a) What is the current through the parallel resistor in the meter? (b) What is the voltage across the parallel resistor? (c) What is the resistance of the parallel resistor?
