Problem 14PE
Repeat the above example on Example 20.3, but for a wire made of silver and given there is one free electron per silver atom.
Example 20.3: Calculating Drift Velocity in a Common Wire Calculate the drift velocity of electrons in a 12-gauge copper wire (which has a diameter of 2.053 mm) carrying a 20.0-A current, given that there is one free electron per copper atom. (Household wiring often contains 12-gauge copper wire, and the maximum current allowed in such wire is usually 20 A.) The density of copper is 8.80 × 103 kg/m3 .
