Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(625 \times 10^{25}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(i =10 A , A =5 mm ^{2}=5 \times 10^{-6} m ^{2}\)
and \(v _{ d }=2 \times 10^{-3} m / s\)
We know, \(i= neAvd\)
\(\therefore 10= n \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 5 \times 10^{-6} \times 2 \times 10^{-3}\)
\(\Rightarrow n =0.625 \times 10^{28}=625 \times 10^{25}\)
