Chapter 27, Problem 55EAP

You need to design a 1 .0 A fuse that “blows” if the current exceeds 1 .0 A. The fuse material in your stockroom melts at a current density of 500 A/cm2. What diameter wire of this material will do the job?

The vector current density of a 3m long and 3mm diameter conductor is given as 155630 A/m^2. Determine the curent on the conductor, its free electron density, the drift velocity of the charges and the number of electrons passing through the conductor for 3 seconds.
Consider a copper wire that is being used to deposit charge on a metal plate. Theamount of charge on the metal plate is described by the functionq(t) = c0 + c1t2, where c0 = 1.3 × 10-6 C and c1 = 2.3 × 10-7 C/s2. How much electron current flows through the copper wire at 3.4 s?
Consider a wire of a circular cross-section with a radius of R = 3.00 mm . The magnitude of the current density is modeled as J = cr2 = 5.00 × 106 Am4r2 . What is the current through the inner section of the wire from thecenter to r = 0.5R ?
