Problem 53

On your first day at work as an electrical technician, you are asked to determine the resistance per meter of a long piece of wire. The company you work for is poorly equipped. You find a battery, a voltmeter, and an ammeter, but no meter for directly measuring resistance (an ohmmeter). You put the leads from the voltmeter across the terminals of the battery, and the meter reads $12.6 \mathrm{~V}$. You cut off a $20.0 \mathrm{~m}$ length of wire and connect it to the battery, with an ammeter in series with it to measure the current in the wire. The ammeter reads 7.00 A. You then cut off a $40.0 \mathrm{~m}$ length of wire and connect it to the battery, again with the ammeter in series to measure the current. The ammeter reads 4.20 A. Even though the equipment you have available to you is limited, your boss assure you of its high quality: The ammeter has very small resistance, and the voltmeter has very large resistance.

Problem 69

Two cylindrical cans with insulating sides and conducting end caps are filled with water, attached to the circuitry shown in Fig. $\mathbf{P} 25.69,$ and used to determine salinity levels. The cans are identical, with radius $r=5.00 \mathrm{~cm}$ and length $L=3.00 \mathrm{~cm} .$ The battery supplies a potential of $10.0 \mathrm{~V},$ has a negligible internal resistance, and is connected in series with a resistor $R=15.0 \Omega .$ The left cylinder is filled with pure distilled water, which has infinite resistivity. The right cylinder is filled with a saltwater solution. It is known that the resistivity of the saltwater solution is determined by the relationship $\rho=\left(s_{0} / s\right) \Omega \cdot \mathrm{m},$ where $s$ is the salinity in parts per thousand $(\mathrm{ppt})$ and $s_{0}=6.30$ ppt. (a) The ammeter registers a current of $484 \mathrm{~mA}$. What is the salinity of the saltwater solution? (b) The left cylinder acts as a capacitor. Use Eq. (24.19) for its capacitance. How much charge is present on its upper plate? Note that pure water has a dielectric constant of $80.4 .$ (c) At what rate is energy dissipated by the saltwater? (d) For what salinity level would the $15.0 \Omega$ resistor dissipate half the power supplied by the battery?

A square, conducting, wire loop of side $L,$ total mass $m,$ and total resistance $R$ initially lies in the horizontal $x y$ -plane, with corners at $(x, y, z)=(0,0,0),(0, L, 0),(L, 0,0),$ and $(L, L, 0)$ There is a uniform, upward magnetic field $\vec{B}=B \hat{k}$ in the space within and around the loop.

Problem 71

BIO Stimulating the Brain. Communication in the nervous system is based on the propagation of electrical signals called action potentials along axons, which are extensions of nerve cells (see the MCAT-style Passage Problems in Chapter 26 ). Action potentials are generated when the electric potential difference across the membrane of the nerve cell changes: Specifically, the inside of the cell becomes more positive. Researchers in clinical medicine and neurobiology cannot stimulate nerves (even noninvasively) at specific locations in conscious human subjects. Using electrodes to apply current to the skin is painful and requires large currents, which could be dangerous. Anthony Barker and colleagues at the University of Sheffield in England developed a technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). In this widely used procedure, a coil positioned near the skull produces a time-varying magnetic field that induces in the conductive tissue of the brain (see part (a) of the figure) electric currents that are sufficient to cause action potentials in nerve cells. For example, if the coil is placed near the motor cortex (the region of the brain that controls voluntary movement), scientists can monitor muscle contraction and assess the connections between the brain and the muscles. Part (b) of the figure is a graph of the typical dependence on time $t$ of the magnetic field $B$ produced by the coil.
In part (a) of the figure, a current pulse increases to a peak and then decreases to zero in the direction shown in the stimulating coil. What will be the direction of the induced current (dashed line) in the brain tissue? (a) $1 ;$ (b) $2 ;$ (c) 1 while the current increases in the stimulating coil, 2 while the current decreases; (d) 2 while the current increases in the stimulating coil, 1 while the current decreases.

Problem 79

BIO Spiderweb Conductivity. Some types of spiders build webs that consist of threads made of dry silk coated with a solution of a variety of compounds. This coating leaves the threads, which are used to capture prey, hygroscopic-that is, they attract water from the atmosphere. It has been hypothesized that this aqueous coating makes the threads good electrical conductors. To test the electrical properties of coated thread, researchers placed a $5 \mathrm{~mm}$ length of thread between two electrical contacts. The researchers stretched the thread in $1 \mathrm{~mm}$ increments to more than twice its original length, and then allowed it to return to its original length, again in $1 \mathrm{~mm}$ increments. Some of the resistance measurements are shown in the table:

(b) The thread stops being a conductor when it is stretched to $13 \mathrm{~mm},$ due to breaks that occur in the thin coating.
