A straight, cylindrical wire lying along the x axis has a length L and a diameter d. It is made of a material described by Ohm’s law with a resistivity ρ. Assume potential V is maintained at the left end of the wire at x = 0. Also assume the potential is zero at x = L. In terms of L, d, V, ρ, and physical constants, derive expressions for (a) the magnitude and direction of the electric field in the wire, (b) the resistance of the wire, (c) the magnitude and direction of the electric current in the wire, and (d) the current density in the wire. (e) Show that E = ρJ.
A straight, cylindrical wire lying along the x axis has a length of 0.500 m and a diameter of 0.200 mm. It is made of a material described by Ohm’s law with a resistivity of ρ = 4.00 x 10-8 Ω ⋅ m. Assume a potential of 4.00 V is maintained at the left end of the wire at x = 0. Also assume V = 0 at x = 0.500 m. Find (a) the magnitude and direction of the electric field in the wire, (b) the resistance of the wire, (c) the magnitude and direction of the electric current in the wire, and (d) the current density in the wire. (e) Show that E = ρJ.
Air isn’t a perfect electric insulator, but it has a very high resistivity. Dry air has a resistivity of approximately 3 x 1013 Ω • m. A capacitor has square plates 10 cm on a side separated by 1.2 mm of dry air. If the capacitor is charged to 250 V, what fraction of the charge will flow across the air gap in 1 minute? Make the approximation that the potential difference doesn’t change as the charge flows.
