change the sign from positive to negative? Hint: think about the direction of current.
2. Does the voltage V across the resistor for charging and discharging obey by the same
equation: V = Vo eRC
3. What is the sum of the voltages across the capacitor Vc and across the resistor VR at
any point in time during the charging and discharging processes?
Use a snipping tool to copy and paste the waveform chart and graph for the charging and
discharging curves into the lab report.

Directions: Solve for the given problems. Show your complete solutions. Express your final
answers into 3 significant figures.
1. Silver is composed of 5.8 x 1028 free electrons per cubic meter. If a silver wire with a
diameter of 1.8 mm can allow charges of 360 C to flow in 1 hour,
a. What is the current in the conducting wire?
b. What is the magnitude of the drift velocity of the electrons in the conducting wire?
2. A wire has a radius of 1.90 mm. If the current in the wire is 6.14 A, the drift velocity is 4.86
x 10-5 m/s. What is the concentration of free electrons in the metal?
In a given fluid, positive ions, each with 1 excess protons, move to the right at a steady rate of 1.8 × 1019 ions per minute and negative ions, each with 4 excess electrons, move to the left at a rate of 3.0 × 1019 ions per minute. Determine the current directed to the right. Use the fundamental unit of charge to be C. Determine the current (in amperes) to the right.
NOTE:
Express your final answers accurate to four decimal places; avoid rounding off intermediate values in the solutions to avoid deviation due to rounding-off within the solution.
