Ans :
There are two basic criterias that are considered while choosing metals for electrodes : their potential stability and their electrical conductivity.
For cathode , the potential must be in the range of 3 - 4.7 with respect to Li , and aluminium has an oxidation potential of 4.7 so it is suitable for positive electrode current collector.
Likewise for anode , the potential with respect to Lithium must be in the range of 0.5- 2.5 , and copper has 2.7 , hence suitable for negative electrode current collector.
Why use aluminum thin film as the positive electrode current collector and copper thin film as the negative electrode cu...
A thin film of aluminum has length 1 cm, width 1 mm and thickness 1000 angstroms. A 50 mA current is flowing along the length of this film. What will be the Hall voltage developed across the width of this sample when a magnetic field of 1 tesla is applied perpendicular to the plane of the film? The carrier concentration in aluminum is 2 x 10"/cm'. Please give your answer in SI units.

The default setting is a thin film of glass(n = 1.5) with air (n
= 1)on both sides.The starting wavelength is 652 nm and the
starting thickness is 544 nm. Use these starting values for this
next set of questions.
1. Is there a phase shift on the front (left) interface? On the
back (right) interface in the simulation?Justify why there is/isn’t
a phase shift at each interface.
2. How does the wavelength in the film (glass) compare to the...
1. (3 points) A capacitor consisting of rolled insulator and metal thin strips needs to have a ca- pacitance of 20 nF. The positive and negative terminals are attached to two separate aluminum strips, which act as the parallel plates, and paper, which acts as the insulator is inserted between these. For paper, e 3.5o, and the thickness is 0.050mm. Find the required length of the layered aluminum/paper strip. The width of the layered aluminum/paper strip is 2.0cm. Note that...
Copper and aluminum are being considered for a high-voltage transmission line that must carry a current of 49.2 A. The resistance per unit length is to be 0.172 Ω/km. The densities of copper and aluminum are 8960 and 2600 kg/m3, respectively. Compute (a) the magnitude J of the current density and (b) the mass per unit length λ for a copper cable and (c) J and (d) λ for an aluminum cable.
