Q 11 :

A hollow cylindrical conductor has length of 3.14 m, while its inner and outer diameters are 4 mm and 8 mm respectively. The resistance of the conductor is n×10-3Ω. If the resistivity of the material is 2.4×10-8Ω m, the value of n is ________.                 [2023]



(2)

R=ρlA, the cross-sectional area is π(b2-a2)

R=ρlπ(b2-a2)=2.4×10-8×3.143.14×(42-22)×10-6=2×10-3 Ω

n=2



Q 12 :

If a copper wire is stretched to increase its length by 20%, the percentage increase in resistance of the wire is ______ %.           [2023]



(44)

As volume is constant.

So resistance(length)2

 % change in resistance=20+20+400100=44%



Q 13 :

A current of 2 A flows through a wire of cross-sectional area 25.0 mm2. The number of free electrons in a cubic meter are 2.0×1028. The drift velocity of the electrons is ____ ×10-6ms-1 (given, charge on electron =1.6×10-19 C).             [2023]



(25)

Drift velocity

vd=IneA=22×1028×1.6×10-19×25×10-6

                    =25×10-6 ms-1



Q 14 :

The number density of free electrons in copper is nearly 8×1028 m-3. A copper wire has its area of cross section =2×10-6 m2 and is carrying a current of 3.2 A. The drift speed of the electrons is _______ ×10-6 ms-1.              [2023]



(125)

n=8×1028 m-3,  Area=2×10-6 m2,  I=3.2 A

I=neAvd

vd=IneA=125×10-6 m/s
