A coil of Nichrome wire is 29.0 m long. The wire has a diameter of 0.460 mm and is at 20.0°C. (a) If it carries a current of 0.460 A, what is the magnitude of the electric field in the wire? (b) If it carries a current of 0.460 A, what is the power delivered to it?
Flying Circus of Physics Exploding shoes. The rain-soaked shoes of a person may explode if ground current from nearby lightning vaporizes the water. The sudden conversion of water to water vapor causes a dramatic expansion that can rip apart shoes. Water has density 1000 kg/m3 and requires 2256 kJ/kg to be vaporized. If horizontal current lasts 2.26 ms and encounters water with resistivity 154 Q-m, length 14.0 cm, and vertical cross-sectional area 15.2 x 10-5 m², what average current is required to vaporize the water?

Parallel conducting plates create nearly uniform fields that are used to accelerate and direct beams of electrons. Typically we would free the electrons from a surface by heating it up. One way is to run a current through a wire with resistance. The power dissipated in the wire causes it to increase its temperature to the point that it can radiate that power away, mostly carried off as light. The hot electrons escape the potential barrier at the surface and are "free" to use. Consider a source of electrons that is small, like a tiny hot filament. The electrons are freed from the surface but the positive charge they leave behind holds them in a cloud near the filament. Now we add another plate at voltage VV some distance dd away. We put a little hole in that plate to enable the electrons to zip on through. The experiment looks something like this. While they seem antiquated, the concept is still useful. It is the basis of modern X-ray tubes, and until only a few years ago all…

F=0.8975r^-2.00 And re-writing it as: (4)F=0.8975/r^-2.00 We can now compare it with Coulomb’s equation: (1)F=K|q1q2|/r^2 So, comparing these equations (4) and (1) we realize that: k=|q1q2|=0.8975 Plugging in values for charges: q1 = -10µC, and q2 = 10µC, isolating k (Coulomb’s constant), and recalling that 1µC = 10-6 C, we get: k|-10µC*10µC|=0.8975 k=0.8934/|-10µC*10µC|= 0.8934/10*10^-6C*10*10^-6C (3) Use this Example calculation above, and the trendline equation (3) coefficients that you have obtained on your graph, to find k. Show your work below. Be careful with powers of ten. k= 0.8975/|-10µC*10µC|= 0.8975/10*10^-6C*10*10^-6C = (5) Now, important part in reporting the answer is properly showing its units. To derive the SI units for Coulomb’s constant k, let’s look again at the equation (1), and re-write it as: k=F*r^2/|q1q2| (6) Recalling the units for all parameters in this equation: Force, F – Newtons, [N] Distance, r –…
