tough physics!!!! question!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is how I got B. and how i keep trying to get A. but it keeps coming out not correct? and without A i cant get C, or D. Maybe i need to change my answers to seconds or something? not sure? I opened up my past tried answers so you could see. help!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^ is an example of problem like mine

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Sorry. I don't know physics.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so, what value are you looking for here?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the first one? start from the definition of current = charge per unit time. areal current density = number electrons / area of cross section \[I={ne\over t}\implies n={It\over e}=\frac{(13)(1)}{1.6\times10^{-16}}=? \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this gives you the number of electrons crossing the area of cross-section in one sec.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

What did you get for A? I got 31.0633 amps/m^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

doesn't it ask for the "number of electrons flowing"? not the current density.. anyways, when the asker is indifferent, why bother!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

these are simply the preliminaries for understanding electricity. no equations to remember, just the definitions or the meanings of the terms

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Yes it asks for electrons per square meter per second.
