18M.2.HL.TZ1.c.i

An ohmic conductor is connected to an ideal ammeter and to a power supply of output voltage V.

M18/4/PHYSI/SP2/ENG/TZ1/04

The following data are available for the conductor:

                    density of free electrons     = 8.5 × 1022 cm−3

                    resistivity                          ρ = 1.7 × 10−8 Ωm

                    dimensions           w × h × l = 0.020 cm × 0.020 cm × 10 cm.

 

The ammeter reading is 2.0 A.

The electric field E inside the sample can be approximated as the uniform electric field between two parallel plates.

Determine the electric field strength E.
