ANSWERS TO OBJECTIVE QUESTIONS OQ27.1 Answer (d). One ampere hour is (1 C/s)(3 600 s) coulombs. The ampere hour rating is the quantity of charge that the battery can lift though its nominal potential difference. OQ27.2 (i) Answer (e). We require ρl/a A 3ρL/A B. Then A A /A B 1/3. (ii) Answer (d). π r A 2 /π r B 2 1/3 gives r A /r B 1/ 3. OQ27.3 The ranking is c > a > b > d > e. Because (a) I ΔV /R, so the current becomes 3 times larger. P IΔV I 2 R, so the current is 3 times larger. (c) R is 1/4 as large, so the current is 4 times larger. (d) R is 2 times larger, so the current is 1/2 as large. (e) R increases by a small percentage, so the current has a small decrease. OQ27.4 (i) Answer (a). The cross-sectional area decreases, so the current density increases, thus the drift speed must increase. 200

2 Chapter OQ27.5 (ii) Answer (a). The cross-sectional area decreases, so the resistance per unit length, R/L ρ/a, increases. Answer (c). I ΔV /R 1.00 V/10.0 Ω A C/s. Because current is constant, I dq/dt Δq/ Δt, and we find that Δq IΔt ( C/s) ( 20.0 s) 2.00 C OQ27.6 Answer (c). The resistances are: R 1 ρl A ρl πr 2, R 2 ρl π ( 2r) 2 ( 1 4)ρL πr 2, R 3 ρ( 2L) π ( 3r) 2 ( 2 / 9)ρL πr 2. OQ27.7 OQ27.8 Answer (a). The new cross-sectional area is three times the original. Originally, R ρl A. Finally, R f ρ( L 3) 3A ρl 9A R 9. Answer. Using R Ω at T 20.0 C, we have R R 0 ( 1+ αδt ) or α R R 0 1 ΔT At T 20.0 C, we have R R 0 ( 1+ α ΔT) 10.0 Ω ( 90.0 C 20.0 C) C C C 20.0 C OQ27.9 Answer (a). R V/I 2 V/2 A 1 Ω. OQ27.10 Answer (c).

P V 2 /R, and V is the same for both bulbs, so the 25 W bulb must have higher resistance so that it will have lower power. (ii) Answer. V is the same for both bulbs, so the 100 W bulb must have lower resistance so that it will have more current.

3 202 Current and Resistance OQ27.13 Answer (d). Because wire B has twice the radius, it has four times the cross-sectional area of wire A. For wire A, R A R ρl/a. For wire B, R B ρ(2l)/(4a) (1/2)ρL/A R/2. ANSWERS TO CONCEPTUAL QUESTIONS CQ27.1 CQ27.2 CQ27.3 CQ27.4 CQ27.5 CQ27.6 Choose the voltage of the power supply you will use to drive the heater. Next calculate the required resistance R as ΔV 2 P. Knowing the resistivity ρ of the material, choose a combination of wire length and cross-sectional area to make A R ρ. You will have to pay for less material if you make both and A smaller, but if you go too far the wire will have too little surface area to radiate away the energy; then the resistor will melt. Geometry and resistivity. In turn, the resistivity of the material depends on the temperature. The conductor does not follow Ohm s law, and must have a resistivity that is current-dependent, or more likely temperaturedependent. In a normal metal, suppose that we could proceed to a limit of zero resistance by lengthening the average time between collisions. The classical model of conduction then suggests that a constant applied voltage would cause constant acceleration of the free electrons. The drift speed and the current would increase steadily in time. It is not the situation envisioned in the question, but we can actually switch to zero resistance by substituting a superconducting wire for the normal metal. In this case, the drift velocity of electrons is established by vibrations of atoms in the crystal lattice; the maximum current is limited; and it becomes impossible to establish a potential difference across the superconductor. The resistance of copper increases with temperature, while the resistance of silicon decreases with increasing temperature. The conduction electrons are scattered more by vibrating atoms when copper heats up. Silicon s charge carrier density increases as temperature increases and more atomic electrons are promoted to become conduction electrons. The amplitude of atomic vibrations increases with temperature. Atoms can then scatter electrons more efficiently.

4 Chapter CQ27.7 CQ27.8 Because there are so many electrons in a conductor (approximately electrons/m 3 ) the average velocity of charges is very slow. When you connect a wire to a potential difference, you establish an electric field everywhere in the wire nearly instantaneously, to make electrons start drifting everywhere all at once. Voltage is a measure of potential difference, not of current. Surge implies a flow and only charge, in coulombs, can flow through a system. It would also be correct to say that the victim carried a certain current, in amperes. SOLUTIONS TO END-OF-CHAPTER PROBLEMS Section 21.1 *P27.1 Electric Current The drift speed of electrons in the line is v d I nqa I n e πd 2 / 4 The time to travel the 200-km length of the line is then 4I Δt L Ln e πd2 v d Substituting numerical values, ( m 3 ) C Δt m s π 0.02 m A 1 yr s 27.1 yr 2 *P27.2 The period of revolution for the sphere is T 2π, and the average ω current represented by this revolving charge is I q T qω 2π. P27.3 We use I nqav d, where n is the number of charge carriers per unit volume, and is identical to the number of atoms per unit volume. We assume a contribution of 1 free electron per atom in the relationship above. For aluminum, which has a molar mass of 27, we know that Avogadro s number of atoms, N A, has a mass of 27.0 g. Thus, the mass per atom is m 27.0 g 27.0 g N A g atom

With A πr 2 and q e, the drift speed of electrons in this wire is v d I n q A I ne πr C s m 3 π m C m s 2 The drift speed is smaller because more electrons are being conducted. To create the same current, therefore, the drift speed need not be as great.

The fractional change in resistance is defined by f (R R 0 )/R 0. Therefore, f R 0αΔT R 0 At the low temperature T C we write αδt ( C 1 )( 50.0 C 25.0 C) 0.12 [ ] R C ΔV R I α T C T 0 C where T C.
