The number density of free electrons in ...

The number density of free electrons in a copper conductor is estimated as `8.5xx10^(28)m^(-3)`. How long does an electron take to drift from one end of a wire 3.0m long to its other end? The area of cross-section of the wire is `2.0xx 10^(-6)m^(2)` and it is carrying a current of 3.0A.
