The number density of free electrons in copper is nearly \(8 \times 10^{28}\,m ^{-3} . A\) copper wire has its area of cross section \(=2 \times 10^{-6}\,m ^2\) and is carrying a current of \(3.2\,A\). The drift speed of the electrons is \(.....\times 10^{-6}\,ms ^{-1}\).
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(125\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(n =8 \times 10^{28}\,m ^{-3}\)
Area \(=2 \times 10^{-6}\,m ^2\)
\(I=3.2\,A\)
\(I = neAv_{d }\)
\(V_{ d }=\frac{ I }{ neA }=125 \times 10^{-6}\,m / s\)
