1. In a particular cathode ray tube, the measured beam current is
30.0 μA. How many electrons strike the tube screen every 40.0 s?
11. An aluminum wire having a cross-sectional area of 4.00 × 10 –6 m2
carries a current of 5.00 A. Find the drift speed of the electrons in the wire.
The density of aluminum is 2.70 g/cm3. Assume that one conduction
electron is supplied by each atom.
12. Calculate the current density in a gold wire at 20°C, if an electric field
of 0.740 V/m exists in the wire.
15. A 0.900-V potential difference is maintained across a 1.50-m length of tungsten
wire that has a cross-sectional area of 0.600 mm2. What is the current in the wire?
16. A conductor of uniform radius 1.20 cm carries a current of 3.00 A
produced by an electric field of 120 V/m. What is the resistivity of the
material?
22. Aluminum and copper wires of equal length are found to have the same
resistance. What is the ratio of their radii?
32. Review problem. An aluminum rod has a resistance of 1.234 Ω at
20.0°C. Calculate the resistance of the rod at 120°C by accounting for the
changes in both the resistivity and the dimensions of the rod.
33. What is the fractional change in the resistance of an iron filament
when its temperature changes from 25.0°C to 50.0°C?
36. A toaster is rated at 600 W when connected to a 120-V source. What
current does the toaster carry, and what is its resistance?
49. Compute the cost per day of operating a lamp that draws a current of
1.70 A from a 110-V line. Assume the cost of energy from the power
company is $0.060 0/kWh.
56. A high-voltage transmission line with a diameter of 2.00 cm and a length
of 200 km carries a steady current of 1 000 A. If the conductor is copper wire
with a free charge density of 8.00 × 1028 electrons/m3, how long does it take
one electron to travel the full length of the line?
