A typical copper wire might have `2xx10^(21)` free electrons in 1 cm of its length. Suppose that the dirft speed of the electrons along the wire is `0.05 cm s^(-1).` How many electrons would pass through a given cross section of the wire each second. How large would a current be flowing in the wire?
