    Chapter 9 11 Current I = nAve, but remember that, in a
    series circuit, current is the same all the
    1 Towards the right. way round the circuit. Also, A and e are the
    same for both lengths of wire. This means
    a
    2 a, b, c A – + B that n1Av1e = n2Av2e, where the 1 denotes the
    c copper wire and the 2 denotes the silver wire.
    V n 28
    c c So that means V2 = n1 = 8.5 × 1028 = 1.4.
    1 2 5.9 × 10
    + This means that the drift velocity in the
    – silver wire is 1.4 times the drift velocity in the
    copper wire.

    12 Current I = RV = 12
    36 = 0.33 A
    3 Charge ΔQ = IΔt = 0.4 × 15 = 6.0 C
    13 A 60 W lamp has higher resistance. It allows
    4 Rearrange ΔQ = IΔt so I = ΔQ 150
    Δt = 30 = 5 A
    less current through for the same potential
    difference (power is current × potential
    5 Rearrange ΔQ = IΔt so I = ΔQ 50
    Δt = 20 = 2.5 A difference, so, applying Ohm’s law, power is
    inversely proportional to resistance).
    6 a
    Rearrange ΔQ = IΔt and use 50 A per hour as
    the charge available, so 14

    a Potential difference, V = IR = 1.0 × 50 = 50 V
    Δt = ΔQ 50
    I = 200 = 0.25 hours = 15 minutes b Potential difference, V = IR = 2.0 × 50 = 100 V
    b ΔQ = IΔt; for a current of 200 A, 15 230 = 580 Ω (to 2 sig. figs)
    Resistance R = VI = 0.40
    ΔQ = 200 × 15 × 60 = 180 000 C
    16 Resistance R = VI = 6.0
    2.4 = 2.5 Ω
    7 Number of protons in 1 C
    = 1 18
    17 Power P = VI, so rearrange to give current:
    –19 = 6.2 × 10 protons
    1.6 × 10 60
    I = PV = 230 = 0.26 A
    8 The smallest possible unit of electric charge
    is the elementary charge, 1.6 × 10–19 C. So the 18 Power P = VI = 25 × 103 × 40 × 103 = 1.0 × 109 W
    only possible electrical charges are whole (1000 MW or 1 GW)
    multiples of this elementary charge. The only
    value from the list that is a whole multiple is 19 a Power P =4 VI so rearrange to give current:
    8.0 × 10–19 C. 10
    I = PV = 230 = 43 A
    9 Current I = nAve b Fuse needs to be rated above, but close to,
    28 –6 –3
    = 5.9 × 10  × 2.0 × 10  × 0.1 × 10  × 1.6 × 10–19 full normal current draw, so a fuse of 45 to
