Acertain cross section lies in the x–y plane. if 3 × 1020 electrons go through the cross section in the z direction in 4 seconds, and simultaneously 1.5 × 1020 protons go through the same cross section in the negative z direction, what is the magnitude and direction of the current flowing through the cross section?

The magnitude of the net current = 18 A.

Direction of the net current is along the negative z axis.

Explanation:

Given:

Number of electrons flow through the given cross section, $\rm n_e = 3\times 10^{20}\ electrons.$ Number of electrons flow through the given cross section, $\rm n_p = 1.5\times 10^{20}\ protons.$ Time interval for which the electrons and protons flow, $\rm t = 4\ seconds.$

The current through a cross section is defined as the amount of charge passing through that cross section in unit time.

$\rm I = \dfrac{Q}{t}.$

We know,

Charge on an electron, $\rm q_e = -1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C.$

Charge on a proton, $\rm q_p = +1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C.$

Therefore,

The amount of charge flowing due to electrons is given by

$\rm Q_e = n_eq_e=3\times 10^{20}\times -1.6\times 10^{-19}=-48\ C.$

The amount of charge flowing due to protons is given by

$\rm Q_p = n_pq_p=1.5\times 10^{20}\times +1.6\times 10^{-19}=+24\ C.$

The current flowing through the cross section because of the electrons is given as:

$\rm I_e = \dfrac{Q_e}{t}=\dfrac{-48\ C}{4\ s}=-12\ A.$

The negative sign shows that the current is due to the flow of negative charge, and the direction of current is always opposite to that of flow of negative charge i.e., electrons.

Thus, the direction of this current is along the negative z direction.

The magnitude of this current = 12 A.

The current flowing through the cross section because of the protons is given as:

$\rm I_p = \dfrac{Q_p}{t}=\dfrac{+24\ C}{4\ s}=6\ A.$

The direction of this current is same as that of electrons,

The directions of the currents due to both, the electrons and the protons are along the negative z direction, therefore the magnitude of the net current is given as:

$\rm |I_{net}| = |I_e|+|I_p|\\=12+6\\=18\ A.$

increasing transnational kinetic energy. because the transnational kinetic energy formula consists of only two variables, mass and velocity, increasing one of those properties is the only way to increase an object's transnational kinetic energy. increases to mass and velocity, however, do not have the same impact.

answer;

d. are made mostly of liquid

explanation;

-the general composition and structure planets includes; they have a thick gas and liquid layer covering a small,solid core. mostly the gases are hydrogen and helium atmosphere and layers of liquid hydrogen. for instance neptune and uranus are examples of the outer planets, they have a core covered by ice and ammonia.

-neptune's atmosphere is hydrogen and helium with a bit of methane so there is no oxygen to breath and the interior is made up of frozen water and ammonia with a rock and iron core. thus, there is no liquid water or solid surface to survive.
