The drift velocity of an electron is \(v_d\) in a conductor of area of cross-section \(A\) and carries a current I. Now, the area of cross-section and current flowing through the conductor are double, then new drift velocity of the electron is ___________ .

  1. A \(\frac{v_d}{2}\)
  2. B \(\frac{v_d}{4}\)
  3. C \(4 v_d\)
  4. D \(v_d\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(v_d\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(v_d = \frac{I}{nAe}\) \(v'_{d} = \frac{2I}{n(2A)e}\)
