Here are the solutions to the questions:

6. The change in potential energy of an electron is −1.28×10−4 J-1.28 \times 10^{-4}\text{ J} when it transverse between two points A and B. Find the change in potential between these points. (q=1.602×10−19 Cq = 1.602 \times 10^{-19}\text{ C})

  1. Identify the given values and the formula.

    The change in potential energy (ΔU\Delta U) is related to the charge (qq) and the change in potential (ΔV\Delta V) by the formula ΔU=qΔV\Delta U = q \Delta V.
    Given:
    ΔU=−1.28×10−4 J\Delta U = -1.28 \times 10^{-4}\text{ J}
    The charge of an electron is q=−1.602×10−19 Cq = -1.602 \times 10^{-19}\text{ C}. (The problem states q=1.602×10−19 Cq = 1.602 \times 10^{-19}\text{ C}, which is the magnitude of the elementary charge. For an electron, the charge is negative.)

  2. Rearrange the formula and substitute the values.

    ΔV=ΔUq\Delta V = \frac{\Delta U}{q} ΔV=−1.28×10−4 J−1.602×10−19 C\Delta V = \frac{-1.28 \times 10^{-4}\text{ J}}{-1.602 \times 10^{-19}\text{ C}}
  3. Calculate the change in potential.

    ΔV≈0.7989×1015 V\Delta V \approx 0.7989 \times 10^{15}\text{ V} ΔV≈7.989×1014 V\Delta V \approx 7.989 \times 10^{14}\text{ V}

    There is a significant discrepancy between this calculated value and the provided options. If we assume a typo in the question and that the potential energy was −1.28×10−14 J-1.28 \times 10^{-14}\text{ J} instead of −1.28×10−4 J-1.28 \times 10^{-4}\text{ J}, then:

    ΔV=−1.28×10−14 J−1.602×10−19 C\Delta V = \frac{-1.28 \times 10^{-14}\text{ J}}{-1.602 \times 10^{-19}\text{ C}} ΔV≈0.7989×105 V\Delta V \approx 0.7989 \times 10^5\text{ V} ΔV≈7.989×104 V\Delta V \approx 7.989 \times 10^4\text{ V}

    This value is approximately 8×104 V8 \times 10^4\text{ V}, which matches option (d). Assuming this typo:
    The correct option is (d).

    8×104 V\boxed{\text{8} \times \text{10}^4\text{ V}}

    7. Two charges 3.21×10−9 C3.21 \times 10^{-9}\text{ C} and 5.4×10−9 C5.4 \times 10^{-9}\text{ C} are situated at 3m3\text{m} and 6m6\text{m} respectively on the positive x-axis of a co-ordinate system. Find the total electric potential at a point 9m9\text{m} away from the origin due to these charges.

  4. Identify the given values and the formula for electric potential.

    The electric potential (VV) due to a point charge (QQ) at a distance (rr) is given by V=kQrV = \frac{kQ}{r}, where k=9×109 N⋅m2/C2k = 9 \times 10^9\text{ N}\cdot\text{m}^2/\text{C}^2.
    Given:
    Q1=3.21×10−9 CQ_1 = 3.21 \times 10^{-9}\text{ C} at x1=3mx_1 = 3\text{m}
    Q2=5.4×10−9 CQ_2 = 5.4 \times 10^{-9}\text{ C} at x2=6mx_2 = 6\text{m}
    Point of interest is at xP=9mx_P = 9\text{m}.

  5. Calculate the distance from each charge to the point of interest.

    Distance from Q1Q_1 to PP: r1=xP−x1=9m−3m=6mr_1 = x_P - x_1 = 9\text{m} - 3\text{m} = 6\text{m}
    Distance from Q2Q_2 to PP: r2=xP−x2=9m−6m=3mr_2 = x_P - x_2 = 9\text{m} - 6\text{m} = 3\text{m}

  6. Calculate the potential due to each charge and sum them.

    V1=(9×109 N⋅m2/C2)×(3.21×10−9 C)6m=9×3.216 V=4.815 VV_1 = \frac{(9 \times 10^9\text{ N}\cdot\text{m}^2/\text{C}^2) \times (3.21 \times 10^{-9}\text{ C})}{6\text{m}} = \frac{9 \times 3.21}{6}\text{ V} = 4.815\text{ V} V2=(9×109 N⋅m2/C2)×(5.4×10−9 C)3m=9×5.43 V=16.2 VV_2 = \frac{(9 \times 10^9\text{ N}\cdot\text{m}^2/\text{C}^2) \times (5.4 \times 10^{-9}\text{ C})}{3\text{m}} = \frac{9 \times 5.4}{3}\text{ V} = 16.2\text{ V}

    Total potential Vtotal=V1+V2=4.815 V+16.2 V=21.015 VV_{\text{total}} = V_1 + V_2 = 4.815\text{ V} + 16.2\text{ V} = 21.015\text{ V}

  7. Compare with options.

    The calculated value 21.015 V21.015\text{ V} is approximately 21 V21\text{ V}.
    The correct option is (b).

    21 V\boxed{\text{21 V}}

    8. Copper contains 8.4×10288.4 \times 10^{28} free electrons/m3^3. A copper wire of cross-sectional area 7.4×10−7m27.4 \times 10^{-7}\text{m}^2 carries a current of 1 A1\text{ A}. The electron drift speed is approximately:

  8. Identify the given values and the formula for drift speed.

    The current (II) in a conductor is related to the number density of charge carriers (nn), the cross-sectional area (AA), the drift speed (vdv_d), and the charge of each carrier (qq) by the formula I=nAvdqI = n A v_d q.
    Given:
    n=8.4×1028 m−3n = 8.4 \times 10^{28}\text{ m}^{-3}
    A=7.4×10−7m2A = 7.4 \times 10^{-7}\text{m}^2
    I=1 AI = 1\text{ A}
    Charge of an electron q=1.602×10−19 Cq = 1.602 \times 10^{-19}\text{ C}

  9. Rearrange the formula to solve for drift speed.

    vd=InAqv_d = \frac{I}{n A q}
  10. Substitute the values and calculate the drift speed.

    vd=1 A(8.4×1028 m−3)×(7.4×10−7 m2)×(1.602×10−19 C)v_d = \frac{1\text{ A}}{(8.4 \times 10^{28}\text{ m}^{-3}) \times (7.4 \times 10^{-7}\text{ m}^2) \times (1.602 \times 10^{-19}\text{ C})} vd=18.4×7.4×1.602×10(28−7−19) m/sv_d = \frac{1}{8.4 \times 7.4 \times 1.602 \times 10^{(28 - 7 - 19)}}\text{ m/s} vd=199.58608×102 m/sv_d = \frac{1}{99.58608 \times 10^2}\text{ m/s} vd=19958.608 m/sv_d = \frac{1}{9958.608}\text{ m/s} vd≈0.0001004 m/sv_d \approx 0.0001004\text{ m/s} vd≈1.0×10−4 m/sv_d \approx 1.0 \times 10^{-4}\text{ m/s}

    The correct option is (d).

    10−4 m/s\boxed{\text{10}^{-4}\text{ m/s}}

    9. A given wire of resistance 10Ω10\Omega has a length of 5m5\text{m} and a cross-sectional area of 4.0×10−3m24.0 \times 10^{-3}\text{m}^2. Calculate the conductivity of the wire.

  11. Identify the given values and the formulas for resistivity and conductivity.

    Resistance (RR) is given by R=ρLAR = \rho \frac{L}{A}, where ρ\rho is resistivity, LL is length, and AA is cross-sectional area. Conductivity (σ\sigma) is the reciprocal of resistivity, σ=1ρ\sigma = \frac{1}{\rho}.
    Given:
    R=10ΩR = 10\Omega
    L=5mL = 5\text{m}
    A=4.0×10−3m2A = 4.0 \times 10^{-3}\text{m}^2

  12. Calculate the resistivity (ρ\rho).

    Rearrange the resistance formula: ρ=R×AL\rho = \frac{R \times A}{L}

    ρ=10Ω×4.0×10−3m25m\rho = \frac{10\Omega \times 4.0 \times 10^{-3}\text{m}^2}{5\text{m}} ρ=40×10−3Ω⋅m5\rho = \frac{40 \times 10^{-3}\Omega \cdot \text{m}}{5} ρ=8×10−3Ω⋅m\rho = 8 \times 10^{-3}\Omega \cdot \text{m}
  13. Calculate the conductivity (σ\sigma).

    σ=1ρ=18×10−3Ω⋅m\sigma = \frac{1}{\rho} = \frac{1}{8 \times 10^{-3}\Omega \cdot \text{m}} σ=10008Ω−1m−1\sigma = \frac{1000}{8}\Omega^{-1}\text{m}^{-1} σ=125Ω−1m−1\sigma = 125\Omega^{-1}\text{m}^{-1}
  14. Convert the conductivity to Ω−1cm−1\Omega^{-1}\text{cm}^{-1} and compare with options.

    Since 1m=100cm1\text{m} = 100\text{cm}, then 1m−1=10−2cm−11\text{m}^{-1} = 10^{-2}\text{cm}^{-1}.

    σ=125Ω−1m−1=125×10−2Ω−1cm−1=1.25Ω−1cm−1\sigma = 125\Omega^{-1}\text{m}^{-1} = 125 \times 10^{-2}\Omega^{-1}\text{cm}^{-1} = 1.25\Omega^{-1}\text{cm}^{-1}

    There is a significant discrepancy between this calculated value and the provided options, which are in the range of 10610^6 to 10810^8. If we assume a typo in the cross-sectional area, and it was 4.0×10−10m24.0 \times 10^{-10}\text{m}^2 instead of 4.0×10−3m24.0 \times 10^{-3}\text{m}^2, then:

    ρ=10Ω×4.0×10−10m25m=8×10−10Ω⋅m\rho = \frac{10\Omega \times 4.0 \times 10^{-10}\text{m}^2}{5\text{m}} = 8 \times 10^{-10}\Omega \cdot \text{m} σ=18×10−10Ω⋅m=1.25×109Ω−1m−1\sigma = \frac{1}{8 \times 10^{-10}\Omega \cdot \text{m}} = 1.25 \times 10^9\Omega^{-1}\text{m}^{-1}

    Converting to Ω−1cm−1\Omega^{-1}\text{cm}^{-1}:

    σ=1.25×109Ω−1m−1=1.25×109×10−2Ω−1cm−1=1.25×107Ω−1cm−1\sigma = 1.25 \times 10^9\Omega^{-1}\text{m}^{-1} = 1.25 \times 10^9 \times 10^{-2}\Omega^{-1}\text{cm}^{-1} = 1.25 \times 10^7\Omega^{-1}\text{cm}^{-1}

    This matches option (b). Assuming this typo:
    The correct option is (b).

    1.25×107 Ω−1cm−1\boxed{\text{1.25} \times \text{10}^7\text{ }\Omega^{-1}\text{cm}^{-1}}

    Given:
    Diameter d=1mmd = 1\text{mm}
    Current I=20AI = 20\text{A}

  16. Convert diameter to meters and calculate the radius.

    d=1mm=1×10−3md = 1\text{mm} = 1 \times 10^{-3}\text{m} r=d2=1×10−3m2=0.5×10−3m=5×10−4mr = \frac{d}{2} = \frac{1 \times 10^{-3}\text{m}}{2} = 0.5 \times 10^{-3}\text{m} = 5 \times 10^{-4}\text{m}
  17. Calculate the cross-sectional area (AA).

    A=πr2=π(5×10−4m)2A = \pi r^2 = \pi (5 \times 10^{-4}\text{m})^2 A=π(25×10−8)m2A = \pi (25 \times 10^{-8})\text{m}^2 A≈3.14159×25×10−8m2A \approx 3.14159 \times 25 \times 10^{-8}\text{m}^2 A≈78.53975×10−8m2A \approx 78.53975 \times 10^{-8}\text{m}^2 A≈7.854×10−7m2A \approx 7.854 \times 10^{-7}\text{m}^2
  18. Calculate the current density (JJ).

    J=IA=20A7.854×10−7m2J = \frac{I}{A} = \frac{20\text{A}}{7.854 \times 10^{-7}\text{m}^2} J≈2.546×107 A/m2J \approx 2.546 \times 10^7\text{ A/m}^2
  19. Compare with options.

    The calculated value 2.546×107 A/m22.546 \times 10^7\text{ A/m}^2 is approximately 2.55×107 A/m22.55 \times 10^7\text{ A/m}^2.
    The correct option is (a).

    2.55×107 A/m2\boxed{\text{2.55} \times \text{10}^7\text{ A/m}^2}

  20. Identify the given values and the formula for power, voltage, and resistance.

    The power (PP) dissipated by a resistor is related to the voltage (VV) across it and its resistance (RR) by the formula P=V2RP = \frac{V^2}{R}.
    Given:
    Power P=60WP = 60\text{W}
    Voltage V=220VV = 220\text{V}

  21. Rearrange the formula to solve for resistance.

    R=V2PR = \frac{V^2}{P}
  22. Substitute the values and calculate the resistance.

    R=(220V)260WR = \frac{(220\text{V})^2}{60\text{W}} R=48400V260WR = \frac{48400\text{V}^2}{60\text{W}} R=806.666...ΩR = 806.666...\Omega R≈806.7ΩR \approx 806.7\Omega
