Suppose a flashlight has 6.8 × 102 C of charge pass through it during time 0.35 h.
A. What is the rate of the flashlight’s energy consumption, in watts, if it operates at a voltage of 3.00 V?
Earth's lower atmosphere contains negative and positive ions that are produced by radioactive elements in the soil and cosmic rays from space. In a certain region, the atmospheric electric field strength is 154 V/m and the field is directed vertically down. This field causes singly charged positive ions, at a density of 802 cm-3, to drift downward and singly charged negative ions, at a density of 719 cm-3, to drift upward (see the figure). The measured conductivity of the air in that region is 2.13 × 10-14 (Ω-m)-1. Calculate (a) the magnitude of the current density and (b) the ion drift speed, assumed to be the same for positive and negative ions.
A voltage ΔV is applied across the ends of a Nichrome heater wire having a cross-sectional area A and length L. The same voltage is applied across the ends of a second Nichrome heater wire having a cross-sectional area A and length 2L. Which wire gets hotter?
