How many conduction electrons are there in a 1.50 mm diameter gold wire that is 20.0 cm long?
\\
The diameter of gold wire is 1.50 mm.
\Therefore, the radius of gold wire is .
The length of the wire is
Find the volume of the wire.
\Volume of the wire is , where
is the area of the wire and
is the length of the wire.
Volume of the wire is
Find the number of conduction electrons.
\Number of conduction electrons is , where
is the number of free electrons and
is the volume.
The number of free electrons in gold wire is per unit volume.
There are conduction electrons. \ \
