A caterpillar, of length
PROBLEM 2: A caterpillar, of length L, crawls along a wire in the direction of its electrondrift. The wire itself is made of oopper, has a diameter D, and carries a steady,r current i. {a} What is the potential difference between the caterpillars head and tailiI lb} Does the caterpillar's tail have a higher or lower potential compared to its headiI Noexplanation is required. {c} How much time would it take for the caterpillar to crawl a distance or while keepingpace with the drifting speed of the electrons in the wire?
