Solutions

Expert Solution

a)

Current through each segment

Itop=Imid=Ibottom=13 A

b)

radius r=d/2

Current density

J=I/A =I/pir2

Jtop=13/(pi*(1*10-3)2=4.14*106 A/m2

Jmid=13/(pi*(0.5*10-3)2=1.66*107 A/m2

Jbottom=13/(pi*(1*10-3)2=4.14*106 A/m2

c)

E=J/sigma

Etop=(4.14*106)/(3.5*107)=0.1183 V/m

Emid=(1.66*107)/(3.5*107)=0.474 V/m

Ebottom=0.1183 V/m

d)

Drift velocity

Vd=J/ne

Vtop=(4.14*106)/(6*1028)(1.6*10-19) =4.31*10-4 m/s

Vmid=(1.66*107)/(1.6*10-19)(6*1028)=1.73*10-3 m/s

Vbottom=4.31*10-4 m/s

e)

electron current

Ie=I/e =13/(1.6*10-19) = 8.13*1019 electrons

Itop=8.13*1019 electrons

Imid=8.13*1019 electrons

Ibottom=8.13*1019 electrons
