A conductor wire having `10^29` free electrons `/ m^3` carries a current of 20A. If the cross-section of the wire is `1mm^2`, then the drift velocity of electrons will be :

A

`6.25 times 10^-3 ms^-1`

B

`1.25 times 10^-5 ms^-1`

C

`1.25 times 10^-3 ms^-1`

D

`1.25 times 10^-4 ms^-1`

To find the drift velocity of electrons in the conductor wire, we can use the formula for current (I) in terms of drift velocity (v_d): \[ I = n \cdot A \cdot e \cdot v_d \] Where: - \( I \) = current (in Amperes) - \( n \) = number of free electrons per unit volume (in electrons/m³) - \( A \) = cross-sectional area of the wire (in m²) ...
