A copper wire of 3.2 mm in diameter and 4 m length carries a certain amount of current. The conductionelectron density in copper is 8.49x1028 electrons/m3. A 75.0-Ω resistor is connected with the copper wireto the terminals of a battery whose emf is 11.0 V and whose internal resistance is 0.8 Ω. Calculate (a) thecurrent in the circuit, (b) the current density in the wire, (c) the terminal voltage of the battery, Vab, and (d)the power dissipated in the resistor R, (e) the power dissipated in the battery’s internal resistance r, (f) the resistivity of the wire, (g) the drift velocity of the free electrons, and (h) Estimate the rms speed ofelectrons assuming they behave like an ideal gas at 20°C. Assume that one electron per Cu atom is free tomove (the others remain bound to the atom).
A nichrome rod of length LN = 78 cm is connected in series (end to end) to a carbon rod of length LC = 5 cm. Both rods have cross-sectional areas of A = 85 mm2. At T0 = 20° C the restistivity of nichrome is ρN = 1.50 × 10-6 Ω⋅m and the resistivity of carbon is ρC = 3.50 × 10-5 Ω⋅m. The temperature coefficient of nichrome is positive with value αN = 0.4 × 10-3 °C-1. The temperature coefficient of carbon is negative with a value αC = -0.5 × 10-3 °C-1. The nonlinear dependence of the resistivity on temperature T can be written as ρ = ρ0eα(T-T0).

B) Calculate the temperature in degrees Celsius for which the resistance of the carbon-nichrome combination will be a minimum
