    2. An isolated conducting sphere has a 10 cm radius. One wire carries a current of 1.000 002 0 A
    into it. Another wire carries a current of 1.000 000 0 A out of it. How long would it take for the
    sphere to increase in potential by 1000 V?

    Answer: 5.56x10-3 s = 5.56 ms.


    8. A small but measurable current of 1.2x10-10 A exists in a copper wire whose diameter is 2.5
    mm. The number of charge carriers per unit volume is 8.49x1028 m-3. Assuming the current is
    uniform, calculate the (a) current density and (b) electron drift speed.

    Answer: (a) 2.4x10-5 A/m2 = 24 uA/m2 ; (b) 1.8x10-15 m/s.


    16. Copper and aluminum are being considered for a high-voltage transmission line that must
    carry a current of 60.0 A. The resistance per unit length is to be 0.150 Ω/km. The densities of
    copper and aluminum are 8960 and 2600 kg/m3, respectively. Compute (a) the magnitude J of
    the current density and (b) the mass per unit length λ for a copper cable and (c) J and (d) λ for
    an aluminum cable.

    Answer: (a) 5.33x105 A/m2 ; (b) 1.01 kg/m ; (c) 3.27x105 A/m2 ; (d) 0.477 kg/m.

    Then, realistically $/m is important


    21. A common flashlight bulb is rated at 0.30 A and 2.9 V (the values of the current and voltage
    under operating conditions). If the resistance of the tungsten bulb filament at room
    temperature (20°C) is 1.1 Ω, what is the temperature of the filament when the bulb is on?

    Answer: 1.8 °C.


    25. A wire with a resistance of 6.0 Ω is drawn out through a die so that its new length is three
    times its original length. Find the resistance of the longer wire, assuming that the resistivity and
    density of the material are unchanged.

    Answer: 54 Ω.
    28. Figure 26-26 gives the electric potential V(x) along a copper wire carrying uniform current,
    from a point of higher potential Vs = 12.0 μV at x = 0 to a point of zero potential at xs = 3.00 m.
    The wire has a radius of 2.00 mm.What is the current in the wire?

    Answer: 3.0x10-3 A = 3.0 mA.


    46. A copper wire of cross-sectional area 2.00x10-6 m2 and length 4.00 m has a current of 2.00 A
    uniformly distributed across that area. (a) What is the magnitude of the electric field along the
    wire? (b) How much electrical energy is transferred to thermal energy in 30 min?

    Answer: (a) 1.69x10-2 V/m ; (b) 243 J.


    47. A heating element is made by maintaining a potential difference of 75.0 V across the length
    of a Nichrome wire that has a 2.60x10-6 m2 cross section. Nichrome has a resistivity of 5.00x10-7
    Ω.m. (a) If the element dissipates 5000W, what is its length? (b) If 100 V is used to obtain the
    same dissipation rate, what should the length be?

    Answer: (a) 5.85 m ; (b) 10.4 m.
