Estimate the average drift velocity of conduction electrons in a copper wire of cross-sectional area `2.5 xx 10^(-7) m^(2)`, carrying a current of 2.7 A. Assume the density of conduction electrons to be `9 xx 10^(28) m^(-3)`.
Text Solution
AI Generated Solution
To estimate the average drift velocity of conduction electrons in a copper wire, we can use the formula for current in terms of drift velocity:
\[
I = n \cdot A \cdot e \cdot v_d
\]
Where:
- \( I \) = current (in Amperes)
