Question

By what displacement "t", shown in the figure, would all the conduction electrons have to be displaced to perfectly compensate an external field of magnitude 250*10^6 V/m in copper? How does this displacement compare to the radius "a" of a hydrogen atom, a=5.3*10^-11m? (Copper has one conduction electron per atom. Its mass density is 8.96g/cm^3, and its atomic mass is 63.546g/mol.)



Notes: The figure illustrates how (in a thin sheet of copper) when a conductor is placed in an external Efield, the conduction electrons move under the influence of the field until they set up their own field that perfectly balances the external felid at all points inside the conductor. "Pile up"
