A conductor of length L is connected across d.c. source of emf `epsi` . If the conductor is replaced by another of the same material and area of cross-section but of length = 5 L, by what factor will the drift velocity change ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Drift velocity becomes 1/5th of its previous value because of reduction in value of electric field `epsi` .
