Conceptual Review: Chapter 17
A. Electric Current & Drift Speed
1.
An electron is circling around a nucleus with a frequency f. What is the effective current?
2.
Express number density in terms of Avogadro’s number NA, density and atomic mass M.
B. Resistance & Ohm’s law
1.
A steady current is flowing in a resistor R. (A resistor is a conductor.) According to the Ohm’s law,
voltage across it is not zero. We already know the potential is constant in a conductor in equilibrium.
What’s wrong?
2. What is the difference between Ohm’s law and the definition of resistance?
C. Resistivity
1. What factors determine the resistance of a conductor?
2. A tension is applied to a wire and the length of the wire is doubled. By what factor does the resistance
of the wire increases?
D. Temperature Variation of Resistance
1. Can you choose the reference temperature on your own?
2. Why does the resistance of many materials increase as its temperature increases?
E. Electrical Power
1. Two resistors in series are connected across a battery. Which expression are you going to use to
calculate the power consumption in one of the resistor?
2. A voltage ΔV is applied to two identical resistors in series. By what factor does the power consumption
increase if you reconnect the resistors in parallel?
3. How much does it cost to use 1 000-W drier for 30 minutes if the cost of the electricity is $0.1/kWh?
