Question

true or false??plz expalin..tnx
1) In the metal wires of a circuit, the electron current i flows from the negative to the positive end of a battery, but the current I flows from the positive to the negative end of the battery.

2) If there is an electric field inside of a conductor, then current must be flowing through this conductor.

3) If you double the diameter of a cylindrical wire, you double its conductivity but reduce its resistivity by one half.

4) If a one-amp current is flowing in a wire, one electron per second flows through this wire

Explanation / Answer

a) True; Electrons flow from -ve terminal to +ve terminal of battery due to force of attraction. And conventionally current is shown to flow from +ve to -ve terminal of battery.

 

b) False: We know that electric field is generated due to presence of charges.it's not necessary that current to be flowing through conductor.

 

c) False; resitivity and conductivity are fundamental properties of an element, They don't change with diamtere of wire.

 

d) False : 1 A of current is contributed by 6 x 1018 electrons per second
