tough physics!!!! question!!!
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!!!
^ is an example of problem like mine
@Mertsj
Sorry. I don't know physics.
so, what value are you looking for here?
the first one? start from the definition of current = charge per unit time. areal current density = number electrons / area of cross section \[I={ne\over t}\implies n={It\over e}=\frac{(13)(1)}{1.6\times10^{-16}}=? \]
this gives you the number of electrons crossing the area of cross-section in one sec.
What did you get for A? I got 31.0633 amps/m^2
doesn't it ask for the "number of electrons flowing"? not the current density.. anyways, when the asker is indifferent, why bother!!!
these are simply the preliminaries for understanding electricity. no equations to remember, just the definitions or the meanings of the terms
Yes it asks for electrons per square meter per second.
