Part A: How many conduction electrons are there in a 3.50 mm diameter gold wire that is 50.0 cm long?
Part B: How far must the sea of electrons in the wire move to deliver -29.0 nC of charge to an electrode?
The concepts used to solve the problem are atomic number, volume, density, and the number of atoms in a material.
First, from the mass of the gold and the atomic mass of gold, find the total number of conduction electrons in the gold.
Then, by finding the number of electrons in the wire, find the distance the sea of electrons must travel.
The volume of the wire is,
Here, is the area of cross of the wire and
is the length of the wire.
The mass of an object is,
