Problem 1: A cell phone battery uses chemistry to create a charge separation between the terminals (anode and cathode). Such a battery is listed as having a capacity of Q = 7.5E-08 C.
Part (a) How many free electrons does the battery contain, N?
Part (b) If there are 1.0 million electrons moving through the phone every second how long will the battery last in seconds?
Part (c) Current, I, is given in amps which are coulombs per second. What is the current passing through the phone?
The circuit shown in the diagram contains a battery and two wires made of the same material, but with different diameters. Each wire
is 10 cm long, has 7 x 1027 mobile electrons per cubic meter, and an electron mobility of 5 x 10-5 (m/s)/(V/m). The diameter of wire 1
is 3 mm, and the diameter of wire 2 is 0.8 mm. Location A is inside wire 1, and location B is inside wire 2. A steady state current flows
through the circuit.
