A copper rod of cross-sectional area \(A\) carries a uniform current \(I\) through it. At temperature \(T\), if the volume charge density of the rod is \(\rho \), how long will the charges take to travel a distance \(d\) ?

Pick an option to check your answer.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{{\rho dA}}{{I}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Charge density

\(\rho=\frac{\text { charge }}{\text { volume }}=\frac{q}{A d} \Rightarrow q=\rho A d\)

Also, \(q=I T \Rightarrow T=\frac{q}{I}=\frac{\rho A d}{I}\)
