If A is the area of cross section of conductor, `v_(d)` is the drift velocity of electrons and n is the number of electrons per unit volume, then current density through conductor is

A

ne `v_(d)`

B

`(n e A)/(v_(d))`

C

`(n e v_(d))/(A)`

D

`(n/a)A v_(d)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`J=(I)/(A)=(q)/(tA)=(nA l e )/(tA)= (n l e )/(t)=n e v_(d)`
