Two identical conducting wires, A and B of different materials, are joined in series across a battery. If the number density of electrons in A is thrice that in B, then the ratio of drift velocity of electrons in the two wires is

  1. A \(1:1\)
  2. B \(1:2\)
  3. C \(1:3\)
  4. D \(1:4\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(1:3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( I = n A v_d e \) \( I_A = I_B \) \( n_A A_A v_A e = n_B A_B v_B e \) \( n_A v_A = n_B v_B \) \( \frac{v_A}{v_B} = \frac{n_B}{n_A} \) \( n_A = 3 n_B \) \( \frac{v_A}{v_B} = \frac{n_B}{3 n_B} \) \( \frac{v_A}{v_B} = \frac{1}{3} \)
