Aluminium (AI) has a mass density of 2700 kg/m³. Estimate the density of conduction band electrons, stating the approximations you make. c) A flat, thin aluminium plate has an area 12 mm × 12 mm and acquires a charge of -25 pC. It is then electrically isolated and placed in a vacuum. (i) Calculate the number of electrons that must have been transferred during the charging process. (ii) Sketch the electric field distribution and equipotential surfaces outside of the plate, also showing how the charges distribute on the plate's surface. (iii) By first calculating the surface charge density, estimate the electric field magnitude just outside the mid-point of the plate.

The wires of our appliances are insulated with a material mixed with rubber, which has a very high resistivity. If a certain wire has a length of 2.5 m and the outer diameter is 5mm and its inner diameter is 0.5mm, what is its resistance? Note that the inner diameter is present to leave a hallow place where conducting wire ( usually copper) is present. Follow the format: Given: Required: Equation: Solution: Answer:
