A silver wire of radius r= 0.5 mm and resistance 0.06 Ω is connected to a voltage source of 3.1 mV. The density of the free charge carriers is n=1.59×1028 m-3. Find the drift speed of the free charges (in μm/s).
Two 6.0 µF capacitors, two 2.2 kΩ resistors, and a 12.5 V source are connected in series. Starting from the uncharged state, how long does it take for the current to drop from its initial value to 1.30 mA?
Calculate the energy stored for the series-parallel combination shown in figure if C1 = 2 µF,
C2 = 3 µF, C3 = 4 µF, C4 = 6 µF, and C5 = 8 µF and the combination is connected to 2400-V
source.
