Determine the potential difference at the ends of a 56 ohm conductor if a 5kKL

Determine the potential difference at the ends of a 56 ohm conductor if a 5kKL charge passes through its cross section in 5 minutes.

Initial data: R (resistance of the taken conductor) = 56 Ohm; t (charge transit time) = 5 min (300 s); q (charge that passed through the conductor in a given time) = 5 kC (5 * 10 ^ 3 C).

1) Determine the current in the conductor: I = q / t = 5 * 10 ^ 3/300 = 16.667 A.

2) Let’s calculate the potential difference at the ends of the conductor: φ1 – φ2 = I * R = 16.667 * 56 = 933.3 V.

Answer: The potential difference at the ends of the conductor is 933.3 V.
