When a voltage difference is applied to a piece of metal wire, a current flows through it. If this metal wire is now replaced with a silver wire having twice the diameter of the original wire, how much current will flow through the silver wire? The lengths of both wires are the same, and the voltage difference remains unchanged. (The resistivity of the original metal is 1.68 × 10-8 Ω • m, and the resistivity of silver is 1.59 × 10-8 Ω • m.)

The voltage and power ratings of a particular light bulb, which are its normal operating values, are 110 V and 60 W. Assume the resistance of the filament of the bulb is constant and is independent of operating conditions. If the light bulb is operated with a current that is 50% of the current rating of the bulb, what is the actual power drawn by the bulb?

A proton beam that carries a total current of 1.3 mA has 10.0 mm diameter. The current density in the proton beam increases linearly with distance from the center. This is expressed mathematically as J(r) = J0 (r/R), where R is the radius of the beam and J0 is the current density at the edge. Determine the value of J0.

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)?
