A580-mm long tungsten wire, with a 0.046-mm-diameter circular cross section, is wrapped around in the shape of a coil and used as a filament in an incandescent light bulb. when the light bulb is connected to a battery, a current of 0.526 a is measured through the filament. (note: tungsten has a resistivity of 4.9 × 10-8 ? • m.) how many electrons pass through this filament in 5 seconds?
what is the resistance of this filament?
what is the voltage of the battery that would produce this current in the filament?

Explanation:

By definition , so we can calculate the total charge that went through the filament since we know the electric current and the time. If the charge of one electron is e, then the total charge will be given by Q=Ne. Combining these equations we get the number of electrons as:

Since the resistivity of tungsten (W) is , then resistance can be calculated using the formula:

Where we already obtained the radius from the diameter. Finally the Voltage will be given by the formula:

wire in brush may conduct electricity from cell to drill and vice versa electrc shock possible

adding a(n) to an electric circuit would increase the magnetic field around a wire;

b. solenoid

a solenoid is a type of electromagnet whose purpose is to generate a controlled magnetic field.

if the purpose of the solenoid is instead to impede changes in the electric current, a solenoid can be more specifically classified as an inductor rather than an electromagnet.
