Finding the drifting speed. (of an electron?)
@.Sam.
The wire used for student laboratory experiments is typically made of copper and has a radius equal to 0.815 mm. |dw:1362976884490:dw| Estimate the total charge of the free electrons in each meter of such a wire carrying a current that has a magnitude equal to 1.0 A.
|dw:1362977052560:dw|
|dw:1362978075363:dw|
\(I= 1 A\) and I'm looking for Q correct?
\[I=nqvA\] current equals the number of electrons (n?) times charge of one electron (q?) times their velocity (v?) through area A?
J is the current density....but it also looks similar to some "flux" through a region according to this picture. I"m just trying to visualize it
I'm tired. I'll look at it tmrw, it should make more sense...It doesn't look like a difficult concept
J is a field ... flux = field .dot. area
