A constant voltage is applied across a wire of constant length then how drigt velocity of electrons depends on area of cross-section of wire.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`v_(d)=muE,mu`=mobility of free electrons `=(er)/(m )` and E=electric field =`(V)/(L)`
so `v_(d)=mu(V)/( L)` : here `mu` is constant.
If V and L is constant then `v_(d)` does not depends on area.

Assertion : A wire of uniform cross-section and uniform resistivity is connected across an ideal cell. Now the length or wire is doubled keeping volume of wire constant. The drift velocity of electrons after stretching the wire becomes one fourth of what it was before streching the wire. Reason: If a wire (or uniform resistivity and uniform cross-section) of length l_(0) is stretched by a factor n, then its resistance becomes n^(2) times the one before stretching the wire (the volume of wire is kept constant in stretching process.) Fruther at constant potential difference, current is inversely proportional to resistance. Drift velocity of free electron is directly proportional to current and inversely proportional to cross-sectional area of current carrying wire.

A constant voltage of 3 V is supplied to a potentiometer wire. A cell of emf 2 V is balanced by a voltage drop across 416 cm of the wire. Find the total length of the potentiometer wire.
