\(A\). The drift velocity of electrons decreases with the increase in the temperature of conductor. \(B\). The drift velocity is inversely proportional to the area of cross-section of given conductor. \(C\). The drift velocity does not depend on the applied potential difference to the conductor. \(D\). The drift velocity of electron is inversely proportional to the length of the conductor. \(E\). The drift velocity increases with the increase in the temperature of conductor. Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A \(A\) and \(B\) only
  2. B \(A\) and \(D\) only
  3. C \(B\) and \(E\) only
  4. D \(B\) and \(C\) only
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(A\) and \(D\) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Drift velocity \(=\left(\frac{ e \tau}{ m }\right) E\) \(v _{ d }=\left(\frac{ e \tau}{ m }\right)\left(\frac{\Delta V }{\ell}\right)\) \(\Delta V=\) Potential difference applied across the wire As temperature increases, relaxation time decreases, hence \(V _{ d }\) decreases.…
