8 118 Chapter 27 Solutions Goal Solution If the drift velocity of free electrons in a copper wire is m / s, what is the electric field in the conductor? G : O : For electrostatic cases, we learned that the electric field inside a conductor is always zero. On the other hand, if there is a current, a non-zero electric field must be maintained by a battery or other source to make the charges flow. Therefore, we might expect the electric field to be small, but definitely not zero. The drift velocity of the electrons can be used to find the current density, which can be used with Ohm s law to find the electric field inside the conductor. A : We first need the electron density in copper, which from Example 27.1 is n e - /m 3. The current density in this wire is then J nqv d ( e /m 3 )( C/e - )( m/s) A/m 2 Ohm s law can be stated as J σe E /ρ where ρ Ω m for copper, so then E ρj ( Ω m)( A/m 2 ) V / m L : This electric field is certainly smaller than typical static values outside charged objects. The direction of the electric field should be along the length of the conductor, otherwise the electrons would be forced to leave the wire! The reality is that excess charges arrange themselves on the surface of the wire to create an electric field that steers the free electrons to flow along the length of the wire from low to high potential (opposite the direction of a positive test charge). It is also interesting to note that when the electric field is being established it travels at the speed of light; but the drift velocity of the electrons is literally at a snail s pace!

12 122 Chapter 27 Solutions Goal Solution Suppose that a voltage surge produces 140 V for a moment. By what percentage does the power output of a 120-V, 100-W light bulb increase? (Assume that its resistance does not change.) G : The voltage increases by about 20%, but since, the power will increase as the square of the voltage: or a 36.1% increase. O : We have already found an answer to this problem by reasoning in terms of ratios, but we can also calculate the power explicitly for the bulb and compare with the original power by using Ohm s law and the equation for electrical power. To find the power, we must first find the resistance of the bulb, which should remain relatively constant during the power surge (we can check the validity of this assumption later). A : From, we find that The final current is, I f V f R 140 V 144 Ω A The power during the surge is So the percentage increase is 136 W 100 W 100 W % L : Our result tells us that this W light bulb momentarily acts like a W light bulb, which explains why it would suddenly get brighter. Some electronic devices (like computers) are sensitive to voltage surges like this, which is the reason that surge protectors are recommended to protect these devices from being damaged. In solving this problem, we assumed that the resistance of the bulb did not change during the voltage surge, but we should check this assumption. Let us assume that the filament is made of tungsten and that its resistance will change linearly with temperature according to equation Let us further assume that the increased voltage lasts for a time long enough so that the filament comes to a new equilibrium temperature. The temperature change can be estimated from the power surge according to Stefan s law (equation 20.18), assuming that all the power loss is due to radiation. By this law, so that a 36% change in power should correspond to only about a 8% increase in temperature. A typical operating temperature of a white light bulb is about 3000 C, so T 0.08( 3273 C) 260 C. Then the increased resistance would be roughly ( ) 310 Ω R R 0 ( 1 + α( T T 0 )) ( 144 Ω) ( 260) It appears that the resistance could change double from 144 Ω. On the other hand, if the voltage surge lasts only a very short time, the 136 W we calculated originally accurately describes the conversion of electrical into internal energy in the filament.

15 Chapter 27 Solutions 125 Goal Solution A certain toaster has a heating element made of Nichrome resistance wire. When the toaster is first connected to a 120-V source of potential difference (and the wire is at a temperature of 20.0 C), the initial current is 1.80 A. However, the current begins to decrease as the resistive element warms up. When the toaster has reached its final operating temperature, the current has dropped to 1.53 A. (a) Find the power the toaster consumes when it is at its operating temperature. (b) What is the final temperature of the heating element? G : Most toasters are rated at about 1000 W (usually stamped on the bottom of the unit), so we might expect this one to have a similar power rating. The temperature of the heating element should be hot enough to toast bread but low enough that the nickel-chromium alloy element does not melt. (The melting point of nickel is 1455 C, and chromium melts at 1907 C.) O : The power can be calculated directly by multiplying the current and the voltage. The temperature can be found from the linear conductivity equation for Nichrome, with α C -1 from Table A : (a) P ( V)I ( 120 V) ( 1.53 A) 184 W (b) The resistance at 20.0 C is R 0 V 120 V I 1.80 A 66.7 Ω At operating temperature, R 120 V 1.53 A 78.4 Ω Neglecting thermal expansion, R ρl A ρ 0( 1 + α ( T T 0) )l A T T 0 + RR 0 1 α 20.0 C + R 0 ( 1 + α( T T 0 )) 78.4 Ω 66.7 Ω C C L : Although this toaster appears to use significantly less power than most, the temperature seems high enough to toast a piece of bread in a reasonable amount of time. In fact, the temperature of a typical 1000-W toaster would only be slightly higher because Stefan s radiation law (Eq ) tells us that (assuming all power is lost through radiation), so that the temperature might be about 700 C. In either case, the operating temperature is well below the melting point of the heating element P (10.0 W / ft 2 )(10.0 ft)(15.0 ft) 1.50 kw Energy P t (1.50 kw)(24.0 h) 36.0 kwh Cost (36.0 kwh)($ / kwh) $2.88 *27.51 Consider a 400-W blow dryer used for ten minutes daily for a year.

20 130 Chapter 27 Solutions Let α be the temperature coefficient at 20.0 C, and α be the temperature coefficient at 0 C. Then ρ ρ 0 [ 1 + α ( T 20.0 C) ], and ρ ρ [ 1 + α ( T 0 C) ] must both give the correct resistivity at any temperature T. That is, we must have: ρ 0 [ 1 + α(t 20.0 C) ] ρ 1 + α ( T 0 C) Setting T 0 in equation (1) yields: ρ ρ 0 [ 1 α(20.0 C) ], [ ] and setting T 20.0 C in equation (1) gives: ρ 0 ρ 1 + α (20.0 C) Put ρ from the first of these results into the second to obtain: Therefore which simplifies to [ ] (1) ρ 0 ρ 0 [ 1 α(20.0 C) ][ 1 + α (20.0 C) ] 1 + α ( 20.0 C) α α 1 α (20.0 C) [ ] 1 1 α 20.0 C ( ) From this, the temperature coefficient, based on a reference temperature of 0 C, may be computed for any material.
