1. 1/4.

2. 1/2.

3. 1.

4. 2.

Quiz Question 5

A battery is a source of potential difference Vbat.

The battery creates a potential difference Vwire = Vbat between the ends of the wire.

The potential difference in the wire Vwire generates an E-field in the wire.

The E-field establishes a current I = JA = σAE in the wire.

The current in the wire is determined jointly by the battery and the wire’s resistance, R to be:

I Vwire/R
