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?

Answer from: edandjill24

30.22 hours

Explanation:

Given data:

A= l² = (2 x $10^{-3}$ )² = 4 x $10^{-6}$ m²

Length 'L' = 5m

current '' = 2 A

density of free electrons 'n'= 8.5 x $10^{28}$ /m³

Current Density 'J' = / A

J= 2/4 x $10^{-6}$

J= 5 x $10^{5}$ 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 $10^{-19}$ C

T= L/ Vd

Therefore,

T= L . n|q| / J

T= (4 x 8.5 x $10^{28}$ x |1.6 x $10^{-19}$ |)/5 x $10^{5}$

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

Answer from: Quest

scattering of light by tiny particles in air to produce the colors we see on sky, is dependent on the following factors:

(i) wavelength of light

(ii) size of the scattering particle

(iii) distance traveled by light through the atmosphere.

according to rayleigh's law of scattering, the amount of scattering is inversely proportional to the fourth power of its wavelength. shorter the wavelength, greater is its scattering. hence violet/blue light is scattered more than red.

sun's light is a composite light ( visible light) with wavelengths in the range 400 nm (violet) to 700 nm (red). as sunlight passes through our atmosphere, the molecules of air scatter light according to their wavelengths. during sunrise and sunset, the sun's position is below the horizon. hence light from the sun travels a greater distance in the atmosphere when compared to its position a noon.

as sunlight enters the earth's atmosphere, blue light is scattered away and at the end of its journey in the sky, only red and orange wavelengths remain in the beam.

hence at sunrise and sunset, the sky appears reddish orange.
