Chapter 21: Q74P (page 629)

A100Wlamp has a steady current of0.83Ain its filament. How long is required for1molof electrons to pass through the lamp?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The time taken by one mole of electrons to pass through the lamp isΔt=1.3days

Step by step solution

01

Given

Current,i=0.83 A,

Power,P=100 W,

1 mole=6.02×1023 atoms

02

Understanding the concept

The rate at which the energy is transferred between two bodies is known as power. It can also be defined as the amount of energy (E) transferred from one body to another in the unit time interval.

P=Et

Here, t is the time taken to transfer energy(E) .

03

Calculate the time required for 1 mol of electrons to pass through the lamp

Electric current (i)is the rate of transfer of charge with respect to time.

i=ΔqΔt

If i=0.83 A, the time it takes for one mole of electron to pass through the lamp is

Δt=Δqi=(6.02×1023)(1.60×10−19 C)0.83 A=1.16×105 sec=1.34 days

One mole of electrons can pass in1.34 days.

Three charged particles form a triangle: particle 1 with chargeQ1=80.0nCis at x ycoordinates (0,3.00mm), particle 2 with chargeQ2is at (0,−3.00mm), and particle 3 with chargeq=18.0ncis at (4.00mm,0). In unit-vector notation, what is the electrostatic force on particle 3 due to the other two particles ifQ2is equal to (a)80.0nCand (b)−80.0nC?

In Fig. 21-26, particle 1 of charge +qand particle 2 of charge +4.00q are held at separation L=9.00cmon an x-axis. If particle 3 of charge q3 is to be located such that the three particles remain in place when released, what must be the (a) xand (b) ycoordinates of particle 3, and (c) the ratio q3/q?

In Fig. 21-23, particles 1 and 2 are fixed in place, but particle 3 is free to move. If the net electrostatic force on particle 3 due to particles 1 and 2 is zero and L23=2.00L12, what is the ratioq1/q2?

A charge of 6.0 μCis to be split into two parts that are then separated by3.0mm.What is the maximum possible magnitude of the electrostatic force between those two parts?

In Fig. 21-28a, particles 1 and 2 have charge 20.0μCeach and are held at separation distance d=1.50m. (a) What is the magnitude of the electrostatic force on particle 1 due to particle 2?
