The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Current Density The current density \( J \) is given by: \[ J = 2.75 \times 10^{10} \, \text{A/m}^4 \cdot r^2 \] where \( r \) is the radial distance from the center of the wire, and the radius of the wire is \( 3.00 \, \text{mm} = 3.00 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m} \). ### Step 2: Calculate the Total Current \( I \) To find the total current \( I \) flowing through the wire, we need to integrate the current density over the cross-sectional area of the wire. The differential area element \( dA \) in cylindrical coordinates is: \[ dA = 2\pi r \, dr \] Thus, the differential current \( dI \) can be expressed as: \[ dI = J \cdot dA = J \cdot (2\pi r \, dr) \] Substituting for \( J \): \[ dI = (2.75 \times 10^{10} \, r^2) \cdot (2\pi r \, dr) = 2\pi \cdot 2.75 \times 10^{10} \cdot r^3 \, dr \] Now, integrate \( dI \) from \( r = 0 \) to \( r = 3 \times 10^{-3} \): \[ I = \int_0^{3 \times 10^{-3}} 2\pi \cdot 2.75 \times 10^{10} \cdot r^3 \, dr \] ### Step 3: Perform the Integration Calculating the integral: \[ I = 2\pi \cdot 2.75 \times 10^{10} \cdot \left[ \frac{r^4}{4} \right]_0^{3 \times 10^{-3}} \] Substituting the limits: \[ I = 2\pi \cdot 2.75 \times 10^{10} \cdot \left[ \frac{(3 \times 10^{-3})^4}{4} - 0 \right] \] Calculating \( (3 \times 10^{-3})^4 \): \[ (3 \times 10^{-3})^4 = 81 \times 10^{-12} = 8.1 \times 10^{-11} \] Now substituting back: \[ I = 2\pi \cdot 2.75 \times 10^{10} \cdot \frac{8.1 \times 10^{-11}}{4} \] Calculating: \[ I = 2\pi \cdot 2.75 \times 10^{10} \cdot 2.025 \times 10^{-11} \] \[ I \approx 3.5 \, \text{A} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the Energy Converted to Thermal Energy The energy converted to thermal energy \( E \) is given by the formula: \[ E = V \cdot I \cdot t \] where \( V = 80.0 \, \text{V} \), \( I = 3.5 \, \text{A} \), and \( t = 1 \, \text{h} = 3600 \, \text{s} \). Substituting the values: \[ E = 80.0 \cdot 3.5 \cdot 3600 \] Calculating: \[ E = 80.0 \cdot 3.5 = 280 \, \text{W} \] \[ E = 280 \cdot 3600 = 1.008 \times 10^6 \, \text{J} \] ### Final Answer The energy converted to thermal energy in 1 hour is approximately: \[ E \approx 1.1 \times 10^6 \, \text{J} \]
