A length of copper track on a printed circuit board has a cross-sectional area of 5.0
Question:
A length of copper track on a printed circuit board has a cross-sectional area of 5.0 × 10−8 m2. The current in the track is 3.5 mA. You are provided with some useful information about copper:
1 m3 of copper has a mass of 8.9 × 103 kg
54 kg of copper contains 6.0 × 1026 atoms
In copper, there is roughly one electron liberated from each copper atom.
a. Show that the electron number density n for copper is about 1029 m−3.
b. Calculate the mean drift velocity of the electrons.
