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.

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.
