A current of 3.2 mA flows through a conductor. If charge on an electron is −1.6 × 10-19 coulomb, find the number of electrons that will pass each second through the cross section of that conductor.

उत्तर
Q = n × e,
C = 3.2 m A = 3.2 × 1000 A,
Q = −1.6 × 10−19
3.2 × 1000 = n × −1.6 × 10−19
n = `(3.2 × 1000)/(1.6 × 10^-19)`
n = `(3.2 × 10^-3)/(1.6 × 10^-19)`
= `2/(10^-16)`
n = 2 × 1016

Calculate the total resistance of the circuit and find the total current in the circuit.
The circuit depicted in the figure is employed for studying Ohm’s Law. Instead of using a standard resistor, a student opts for a glass tube filled with mercury (tube 1), connected to the circuit through two electrodes, E1 and E2. He records the readings of the ammeter and voltmeter, thereby calculating the resistance. The student repeats the experiment by substituting tube 1 with tube 2, where the same amount of mercury fills tube 2.

Neglecting internal resistance of the cell use (> or < or =) to compare:
- the resistance in both the cases.
- the voltmeter readings in both the cases.
- the specific resistance in both the cases.
