1. Suppose that the current through a conductor de-
creases exponentially with time according to the
−t
equation I(t ) I(t) = I0 e τ where I0 is the initial
current (at t = 0), and τ is a constant having
dimensions of time. Consider a fixed observation
point within the conductor. (a) How much char-
ge passes this point between t = 0 and t = τ ?
(b) How much charge passes this point between
t = 0 and t = 10τ ? (c) What If? How much char-
ge passes this point between t = 0and t = ∞?
2. The quantity of charge q (in coulombs) that has
passed through a surface of area 2,00cm2 va-
ries with time according to the equation q =
4t3 + 5t + 6, where t is in seconds. (a) What is
the instantaneous current through the surface at
t = 1,00s? (b) What is the value of the current
density?
3. An electric current is given by the expression
I(t) = 100sin(120πt), where I is in amperes and
t is in seconds. What is the total charge carried
by the current from t = 0 to t = ( 240

)s?
4. The electron beam emerging from a certain high-
energy electron accelerator has a circular cross
section of radius 1.00 mm. (a) The beam cu-
rrent is 8,00µA. Find the current density in the
beam, assuming that it is uniform throughout.
(b) The speed of the electrons is so close to the
speed of light that their speed can be taken as
c = 3,00X108 m/s with negligible error. Find the
electron density in the beam. (c) How long does
it take for Avogadro is number of electrons to
emerge from the accelerator?
5. A lightbulb has a resistance of 240Ω when ope-
rating with a potential difference of 120 V across
it. What is the current in the lightbulb?
6. A resistor is constructed of a carbon rod that has
a uniform cross-sectional area of 5,00mm2 . When
a potential difference of 15.0 V is applied across
the ends of the rod, the rod carries a current of
4,00X103 A. Find (a) the resistance of the rod 11. Si la caída de potencial entre ay b es de 12V, halle
