Chapter 25.1, Problem 25.1TYU
Suppose we replaced the wire in Example 25.1 with 12-gauge copper wire, which has twice the diameter of 18-gauge wire. If the current remains the same, what effect would this have on the magnitude of the drift velocity vd? (i) None—vd would be unchanged; (ii) vd would be twice as great; (iii) vd would be four times greater; (iv) vd would be half as great; (v) vd would be one-fourth as great.

A person with a body resistance of 10 kΩkΩ between his hands accidentally grasps the terminals of a 14.0 kVkV power supply.
If the power supply is to be made safe by increasing its internal resistance, what should the internal resistance be for the maximum current in the situation just described to be 1.25 mAmA or less?
A high voltage transmission line of diameter 3.73 cm and length 3.76189 km carries a steady current of 1.9 x103 A. If the conductor is copper with a free charge density of 6 x 1028 electrons/m3, how long (in seconds ) does it take one electron to travel the full length of the cable? (e = 1.6 x 10−19 C).For this problem use scientific/exponential notation to represent your answer. Eg., -0.0001 can be written as 1.0e-4 or as 1.0E-4. Spaces are not allowed.
