Two conductors made of the same material...

Two conductors made of the same material have lengths `L` and `2L` but have equal resistance. The two are connected in series in a circuit which current is flowing. Which of the following is/are correct?

A

The potential difference across the two conductors is the same

B

the drift speed is larger inte conductor of lengthL

C

The electric field in the first conductor is twice that in the second

D

the electric field in the second conductor is twice that in the first

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, C

`a. V=iR`
in series i is same. Hence, `V` is also same as `R` is given same.
b. `R=(rhol)/A`
`R` is same. Hence, `AS` should be smaller in first wire. Secondly `v_d=1/("ne"A)` or `v_dprop 1/A`
`A` of first wise is less. Hence, its drift velocity should be more.
`c. E=V/l or Eprop 1/l` (`Vrarr` same)
