A wire with a radius of 2.22mm is made of a conducting material that has an atomic mass of 72.0 grams/mole and a mass density of 6.17x103 kg/m3. You can assume that each atom of the material has one free electron associated with it. What is the drift speed vd in a 19.3 cm long section of wire that is carrying 664 Amps?
Assume 3 significant digits and units of mm/s.
A current of 0.300 A through your chest can send your heart into fibrillation, ruining the normal rhythm of heart beat and disrupting the flow of blood (and thus oxygen) to your brain. If that current persists for 1.39 min, how many conduction electrons pass through your heart?
A Resistive Heater. You and your team are designing a small tube heater that consists of a small ceramic tube
wrapped with a special heater wire composed of Nichrome. When you run an electrical current through the wire, the
wire (and therefore the tube) heats up through resistive heating. Nichrome is an alloy composed of 80% nickel and
20% chromium, and has a resistivity of p = 1.25 × 10-602. m.
(a) What is the resistance per centimeter of 28-gauge Nichrome wire? ("28 gauge" means the wire has a diameter D=
0.320 mm)
(b) You wrap the tube with 41.0 cm of the Nichrome wire, and you want the power output of your heater to be 115
W. What current is needed?
