Drift speed of electrons, when1.5 Acurrent flows in a copper wire of cross section5 mm2isvd.If the electron density in copper is9×1028 m-3the value ofvdinmm s-1is close to (Take charge of an electron to be=1.6×10-19 C)

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

Given,

Current, i=1.5 A,

Cross-section of the wire, A=5×10-6 m2 and

Electron density, n=9×1028 m-3.

As current, i=neAvd

1.5=9×1028×1.6×10-19×5×10-6×vd

vd=0.02mm s-1.
