A copper wire has a square cross section 2.0 mm on a side. The wire is 5.0 m long and carries a current of 2.0 A. The density of free electrons is 8.5*1028/m3. How much time is required for an electron to travel the length of the wire?

30.22 hours

Explanation:

Given data:

A= l² = (2 x )² = 4 x m²

Length 'L' = 5m

current '' = 2 A

density of free electrons 'n'= 8.5 x /m³

Current Density 'J' = / A

J= 2/4 x

J= 5 x A/m²

We can determine the  time required for an electron to travel the length of the wire by

T= L/ Vd

Where,

L is length and Vd is drift velocity.

Vd can be defined by J/ n|q|

where,

n is the charge-carrier number density

|q| is is the charge carried by each charge carrier =>1.6 x C

T= L/ Vd

Therefore,

T= L . n|q| / J

T= (4 x 8.5 x x |1.6 x |)/5 x

T= 108800 seconds =>1813.33 minutes

Converting minute into hours:

T= 30.22 hours

Thus, time that is required for an electron to travel the length of the wire is 30.22 hours

i guess that visual aids present persuasive examples to what you are presenting, some factors would be theme (does it fit with the color, information, what you are presenting), size (can you see it, is it a big enough span of data/information), and overall look of the visual aid.

hope this : )

i think they are all correct

explanation:

they seem good
