Which of the following factors will, if increased, make it more difficult to produce a certain amount of current in a conductor? (There may be more than one correct answer.) (i) The mass of the moving charged particles in the conductor; (ii) the number of moving charged particles per cubic meter; (iii) the amount of charge on each moving particle; (iv) the average time between collisions for a typical moving charged particle.
Which are true?
a) Current is the total amount of charge that passes through a conductor's full cross section at any point per unit time.
b) By convention, the direction of a current is taken to be the direction of flow for negative charges.
c) When an electric field is applied to a conductor, the free electrons move only in the direction opposite the applied electric field.
d) In order to maintain a steady flow of current in a conductor, a steady force must be maintained on the mobile charges.
e) In a circuit, current is delivered by the positive terminal of a battery, and it is used up by the time it returns to the negative terminal of the battery.
