JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 3. current electricity
The drift velocity of electrons for a conductor connected in an electrical circuit is \(V _{ d }\). The conductor in now replaced by another conductor with same material and same length but double the area of cross section. The applied voltage remains same. The new drift velocity of electrons will be
- A \(V _{ d }\)
- B \(\frac{ V _{ d }}{2}\)
- C \(\frac{ V _{ d }}{4}\)
- D \(2V_d\)
Answer & Solution

- Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion \(A\) and the other is labelled as Reason \(R\). Assertion \(A\): A bar magnet dropped through a metallic cylindrical pipe takes more time to come down compared to a non-magnetic bar with same geometry and mass. Reason \(R\): For the magnetic bar, Eddy currents are produced in the metallic pipe which oppose the motion of the magnetic bar. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given belowJEE Mains 2023 Medium
