AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Definition of Drift Velocity**: Drift velocity (vd) is defined as the average velocity of charge carriers (typically electrons) in a conducting wire when an electric field is applied. It represents the net velocity of the charge carriers in the direction of the electric field. 2. **Understanding Charge Density**: Let’s denote: - \( n \) = number of charge carriers per unit volume (number density) ...
