A conductor of length L is connected to a dc source of emf `epsilon`. If this conductor is replaced by another conductor of same material and same area of cross-section but of length 3L, how will the drift velocity change?
Text Solution
AI Generated Solution
To solve the problem, we need to analyze how the drift velocity of charge carriers in a conductor changes when the length of the conductor is altered.
### Step-by-Step Solution:
1. **Understand Drift Velocity**:
The drift velocity \( v_d \) of charge carriers in a conductor is given by the formula:
\[
v_d = \frac{I}{n e A}
