A 165-km-long high-voltage transmission line 2.00 cm in diameter carries a steady current of 1,015 A. If the conductor is copper with a free charge density of 8.50 1028 electrons per cubic meter, how many years does it take one electron to travel the full length of the cable?

Explanation:
Since the current in the wire is I = nevA where n = electron density = 8.50 × 10²⁸ electrons/cm³ × 10⁶ cm³/m³= 8.50 × 10³⁴ electrons/m³, e = electron charge = 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C, v = drift velocity of electrons and A = cross-sectional area of wire = πd²/4 where d = diameter of wire = 2.00 cm = 2 × 10⁻² m
Making v subject of the formula, we have
v = I/neA
So, v = I/neπd²/4
v = 4I/neπd²
Since I = 1,015 A, substituting the values of the other variables into the equation, we have
v = 4I/neπd²
v = 4(1,015 A)/[8.50 × 10³⁴ electrons/m³ × 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C × π ×(2 × 10⁻² m)²]
v = 4(1,015 A)/[8.50 × 10³⁴ electrons/m³ × 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C × π × 4 × 10⁻⁴ m²]
v = (1,015 A)/[42.779 × 10¹¹ electronsC/m]
v = 23.73 × 10⁻¹¹ m/s
v = 2.373 × 10⁻¹⁰ m/s
Since distance d = speed, v × time, t
d = vt
So, the time it takes one electron to travel the full length of the cable is t = d/v
Since d = distance moved by free charge = length of transmission line = 165 km = 165 × 10³ m and v = drift velocity of charge = 2.373 × 10⁻¹⁰ m/s
t = 165 × 10³ m/2.373 × 10⁻¹⁰ m/s
t = 69.54 × 10⁷ s
t = 6.954 × 10⁸ s
Since we have 365 × 24 hr/day × 60 min/hr × 60 s/min = 31536000 s in a year = 3.1536 × 10⁷ s
So, 6.954 × 10⁸ s = 6.954 × 10⁸ s × 1yr/3.1536 × 10⁷ s = 2.21 × 10 yrs = 22.1 years
It will take one electron 22.1 years to travel the full length of the cable
Ответ:
y = 2x + 1/3
2 = 2 (1) + 1/3
2 = 2 1/3
this is not right so it is not an answer.
check other one
y = 2x + 1/3
1 = 2 (1/3) + 1/3
1 = 2/3 + 1/3
1 = 1
this would be a solution since true. hope this helps
