When you step on the brake pedal in your car, charge carriers flow from the battery to the rear brake lights. Suppose the wire connecting the switch at the pedal to the brake lights is made of copper and has a diameter of 1.2 mm . If the current through the wire is 2.5 A , how long on average does it take an electron to travel from the switch at the pedal to one of the brake lights? The number density of free electrons in copper is n = 8.4 ×1028 electrons/m3. Suppose that the length of the wire is 3 m. t = nothing h

Explanation:

I = Current = 2.5 A

d = Diameter = 1.2 mm

n = Number of electrons = $8.4\times 10^{28}\ electrons/m^3$

L = Length of the wire = 3 m

Drift speed is given by

$v_d=\dfrac{I}{neA}\\\Rightarrow v_d=\dfrac{2.5}{8.4\times 10^{28}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times \dfrac{\pi}{4}\times (1.2\times 10^{-3})^2}\\\Rightarrow v_d=0.000164470633982\ m/s$

Time taken is given by

$t=\dfrac{L}{v_d}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{3}{0.000164470633982}\\\Rightarrow t=18240.3382742\ s$

The time taken for an electron to travel from the switch at the pedal to one of the brake lights is 18240.3382742 s

Explanation:

diameter of wire, d = 1.2 mm

radius of wire, r = 0.6 mm

current, i = 2.5 A

number density of electrons, n = 8.4 x 10^28 /m³

Length of wire, l = 3 m

resistivity of copper, ρ = 1.72 x 10^-8 ohm metre

Let R be the resistance of wire

$R = \rho \frac{l}{A}$

$R = 1.72\times 10^{-8} \frac{3}{3.14\times 0.6\times 0.6\times 10^{-6}}$

R = 0.046 ohm

i = n e A v

where, e is the charge of electron and v is the drift velocity of electrons

2.5 = 8.4 x 10^28 x 1.6 x 10^-19 x 3.14 x 0.6 x 0.6 x 10^-6 x v

v = 1.65 x 10^-4 m/s

Let t be the time taken

length, l = drift velocity x time

3 = 1.65 x 10^-4 x t

t = 18231.1 second

t = 5.1 hour

Acetic acid /əˈsiːtɪk/, systematically named ethanoic acid /ˌɛθəˈnoʊɪk/, is a colourless liquid organic compound with the chemical formula ch3cooh (also written as ch3co2h or c2h4o2). when undiluted, it is sometimes called glacial acetic acid. vinegar is no less than 4% acetic acid by volume, making acetic acid the main component of vinegar apart from water. acetic acid has a distinctive sour taste and pungent smell. in addition to household vinegar, it is mainly produced as a precursor to polyvinyl acetate and cellulose acetate. it is classified as a weak acid since it only partially dissociates in solution, but concentrated acetic acid is corrosive and can attack the skin.acetic acidnamespreferred iupac nameacetic acidsystematic iupac nameethanoic acidother namesvinegar (when dilute); hydrogen acetate; methanecarboxylic acid[1][2]identifierscas number64-19-7 3d model (jsmol)interactive image3dmetb00009 reference506007chebichebi: 15366 chemblchembl539 chemspider171 drugbankdb03166 echa infocard100.000.528ec number200-580-7e numbere260 (preservatives)gmelin reference1380iuphar/bps1058keggd00010 meshacetic+acidpubchem cid176rtecs numberaf1225000uniiq40q9n063p un number2789inchiinchi=1s/c2h4o2/c1-2(3)4/h1h3,(h,3,4) key: qtbsbxvteameqo-uhfffaoysa-n smilescc(o)=o
