Answer:
Explanation:
Given:
Light bulb:
Diameter, d = 2.9 mm
Current density, J = 0.33 MA/m2
Filament:
Diameter, d = 0.055 mm
Current, I = J × A
Area = pi/4 × d^2
= pi/4 × (0.0029)^2
= 6.6 × 10^-6 m^2
Current of the light bulb, I = 3.3 × 10^5 × 6.6 × 10^-6
= 2.18 A
Since the current in the lightbulb = current in the filament, current in the filament = 2.18 A
Area = pi/4 × d^2
= pi/4 × (5.5 × 10^-5)^2
= 2.38 × 10^-9 m^2
Current density, J = 2.18/2.38 × 10^-9
= 9.18 × 10^8 A/m^2
= 918 MA/m^2
Answer:
Explanation:
The current can be calculated by mutiplying the current density by cross section area. The new current density is obtained by the following relation and considering that same current flows through the new wire:
