Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A copper wire has a length of 2 m and a cross-sectional area of 1.0 Γ— 10–6 mΒ² carrying a current of 0.5 A. Calculate the drift velocity of the electrons if there are approximately 8.5 Γ— 10²⁸ free electrons per cubic meter.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember to convert your measures to SI units before calculating!

Question 2

Discuss how increasing temperature affects the resistivity of a conductor and how that impacts current flow.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about the relationship between temperature, resistivity, and conductor material.
