- While tracking the speed of individual particles is great, a more useful and simpler quantity to measure is current which is the amount of charges moving through some cross-sectional area per unit time. It has units of Coulombs per second (or Amps} and is abbreviated by the symbol i. See if you can write out a formula for the current through a section of wire with cross sectional area A given the average speed of particles v, the charge on each particle, q, and the number of charges per unit volume, n.

- Someone has given you a light bulb and asked you to figure it out the materials of the filament of a light bulb made from. You placed the light bulb in the bulb holder and with the help of multimeter, you measured a current of 0.830 A passing through the bulb and voltage of 1.20 x 102 V across the bulb. When you solve the problem, please use the length of the filament as 6.00 x 10¹ cm and diameter of the wire as 9.50 x 10-3 mm. Hint: You simply find the resistivity of the material and then compare your value from the table provided here. After that tell me the name of the material of the filament. Is it tungsten or something else?
