Q.

A current of 2 A flows through a wire of cross-sectional area 25.0 mm2. The number of free electrons in a cubic meter are 2.0×1028. The drift velocity of the electrons is ____ ×10-6ms-1 (given, charge on electron =1.6×10-19 C).             [2023]


Ans.

(25)

Drift velocity

vd=IneA=22×1028×1.6×10-19×25×10-6

                    =25×10-6 ms-1
