Capitolo 25, Problema 7a

The current in a wire varies with time according to the relationship I=55A−(0.65A/s2)t2I = 55 A - (0.65 A/s^2)t^2 . How many coulombs of charge pass a cross section of the wire in the time interval between t=0t = 0 and t=8.0 st=8.0\(\text{ s}\)?

To find the total charge that passes through the wire, we need to integrate the current function I(t) = 55 A - (0.65 A/s^2)t^2 over the time interval from t = 0 to t = 8.0 s. The charge Q is given by the integral of current with respect to time: Q = ∫ I(t) dt from 0 to 8.0 s.
Set up the integral for the charge: Q = ∫ (55 - 0.65t^2) dt from 0 to 8.0. This involves integrating each term separately.
Integrate the first term: ∫ 55 dt = 55t. Evaluate this from 0 to 8.0 s.
Integrate the second term: ∫ -0.65t^2 dt = -0.65 * (t^3/3). Evaluate this from 0 to 8.0 s.
Add the results of the two integrals to find the total charge Q. For part (b), calculate the constant current I_const by dividing the total charge Q by the time interval (8.0 s), using the formula I_const = Q / 8.0 s.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Current and Charge Relationship

Current (I) is the rate of flow of electric charge (Q) through a conductor. The relationship is given by I = dQ/dt, where I is the current in amperes, Q is the charge in coulombs, and t is time in seconds. To find the total charge passing through a wire over a time interval, you integrate the current with respect to time.

Intro to Current

Integration of Current Function

To determine the total charge passing through the wire, integrate the given current function I(t) = 55 A - (0.65 A/s^2)t^2 over the specified time interval. This involves calculating the definite integral of I(t) from t = 0 to t = 8.0 s, which provides the total charge in coulombs that has passed through the wire during this period.

Equivalent Constant Current

An equivalent constant current is a steady current that would transport the same total charge over the same time interval as the varying current. To find this, divide the total charge obtained from the integration by the total time interval. This gives the average current, which represents the constant current needed to transport the same amount of charge in the given time.
