Building codes usually limit the current carried by a No. 14 copper wire to 15 A. Many household circuits are wired with this size wire. What is the drift velocity of the electrons in this case? The diameter of this wire is 1.6 mm.
 
  Assume one conduction electron per atom in copper. The atomic weight of copper is 63.3 g/mol and its density is 8900 kg/m3. Avogadro's number is 6.022  1023 molecules/mol and e = 1.60  10-19 C.
  A) 5.51  10-4 m/s
  B) 1.65  10-3 m/s
  C) 4.56  10-4 m/s
  D) 4.89  10-5 m/s
  E) 4.44  10-2 m/s

Question 2

A crystal diffracts a beam of electrons, like a grating, as they hit it perpendicular to its surface.
 
  The crystal spacing is 0.18 nm, and the first maximum scattering occurs at 80 relative to the normal to the surface. (e = 1.60  10-19 C, melectron = 9.11  10-13 kg, h = 6.626  10-34 J  s)
  (a) What is the wavelength of the electrons?
  (b) What potential difference accelerated the electrons if they started from rest?

Hypertension is a silent killer because it is deadly and has no significant early symptoms. The danger from hypertension is the extra load on the heart, which can lead to hypertensive heart disease and kidney damage. This occurs without any major symptoms until the high blood pressure becomes extreme. Regular blood pressure checks are an important method of catching hypertension before it can kill you.

There used to be a metric calendar, as well as metric clocks. The metric calendar, or "French Republican Calendar" divided the year into 12 months, but each month was divided into three 10-day weeks. Each day had 10 decimal hours. Each hour had 100 decimal minutes. Due to lack of popularity, the metric clocks and calendars were ended in 1795, three years after they had been first marketed.
