There is a copper wire of radius 1mm and it carries a current of 2 ampere, calculate the drift speed of electrons assuming there are `8.5 xx10^(28)` free electrons per metre cube.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To calculate the drift speed of electrons in a copper wire, we can use the formula: \[ I = n \cdot A \cdot e \cdot V_d \] Where: - \( I \) = current (in amperes) - \( n \) = number of free electrons per unit volume (in m³) - \( A \) = cross-sectional area of the wire (in m²) ...
