A current of 4 A is flowing in a cylindrical conductor. The number of free electrons passing per second through the cross-section of conductor is

In a metal in the solid state, such as a copper wire, the atoms are strongly bound to one another and occupý fixed positions. Some electrons (called the conductor electrons) are free to move in the body of the metal while the other are strongly bound to their atoms. In good conductors, the number of free electrons is very large of the order of 10^(28) electrons per cubic metre in copper. The free electrons are in random motion and keep colliding with atoms. At room temperature, they move with velocities of the order of 10^5 m/s. These velocities are completely random and there is not net flow of charge in any directions. If a potential difference is maintained between the ends of the metal wire (by connecting it across a battery), an electric field is set up which accelerates the free electrons: These accelerated electrons frequently collide with the atoms of the conductor, as a result, they acquire a constant speed called the drift speed which is given by V_e = 1/enA where I = current in the conductor due to drifting electrons, e = charge of electron, n = number of free electrons per unit volume of the conductor and A = area of cross-section of the conductor. A current of 1 A flows through a copper wire. The number of electrons passing through any cross-section of the wire in 1.6 sec is (charge of a electron = 1.6 xx 10^(-19 c) .

The coagulating power of an effective ion carrying the charge opposite to the sol particles has been illustrated by :-
