A galvanometer has an internal resistance of 100 Ω and deflects full-scale at 2.00 mA. What size resistor should be added to the galvanometer to convert it to a milliammeter capable of reading up to 4.00 mA, and how should this resistor be connected to the galvanometer?

If the current density in a wire or radius R is given by J = kr, 0 < r < R, what is the current in the wire?

The current supplied by a battery as a function of time is What is the total number of electrons transported from the positive electrode to the negative electrode from the time the battery is first used until it is essentially dead? (e = 1.60 × 10-19 C)

A platinum wire is used to determine the melting point of indium. The resistance of the platinum wire is 2.000 Ω at 20°C and increases to 3.072 Ω as the indium starts to melt. What is the melting point of indium? The temperature coefficient of resistivity for platinum is

A 1.0 m long piece of coaxial cable has a wire with a radius of and a concentric conductor with inner radius The area between the cable and the conductor is filled with a dielectric. If the voltage drop across the capacitor is when the line charge density is find the value of the dielectric constant.

A Nichrome wire is used as a heating element in a toaster. From the moment the toaster is first turned on to the moment the wire reaches it maximum temperature, the current in the wire drops by 20.0% from its initial value. What is the temperature change in the wire? The temperature coefficient of resistivity for Nichrome is 0.000400 (°C)-1.

Two very large, flat plates are parallel to each other. Plate A, located at y = 1.0 cm, is along the xz-plane and carries a uniform surface charge density -1.00 μC/m2. Plate B is located at y = -1.0 cm and carries a uniform surface charge density +2.00 μC/m2. What is the electric field vector at the point having x, y, z coordinates (-0.50 cm, 0.00 cm, 0.00 cm)?
