The wires leading to and from a diameter lightbulb filament are in diameter. The wire to the filament carries a current with a current density of role="math" localid="1648887651623" . What are (a) the current and (b) the current density in the filament?
A wire of radius has a current density that increases linearly with distance from the center of the wire: , where is a constant. Find an expression for in terms of and the total currentcarried by the wire.
16. A car battery is rated at , meaning that it can supply a current for before being completely discharged. If you leave your headlights on until the battery is completely dead, how much charge leaves the battery?
Household wiring often uses diameter copper wires. The wires can get rather long as they snake through the walls from the fuse box to the farthest corners of your house. What is the potential difference across a long, diameter copper wire carrying an current?
The electric field inside a long copper wire is . What is the potential difference between the ends of the wire?
