JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 3. current electricity

Drift speed of electrons, when \(1.5\, A\) of current flows in a copper wire of cross section \(5\, mm^2\), is \(v\). If the electron density in copper is \(9 \times 10^{28}\, m^3\) the value of \(v\) in \(mm/s\) is close to (Take charge of electron to be \(= 1.6 \times 10^{-19}\, C\))

  1. A \(0.02\)
  2. B \(3\)
  3. C \(2\)
  4. D \(0.2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(0.02\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{i}=\mathrm{ne} \mathrm{AV}_{\mathrm{d}}\) \(1.5=9 \times 10^{28} \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 5 \times \mathrm{Vd}\) \(\mathrm{Vd}=0.02\)
