Define drift velocity of free electron ....

Define drift velocity of free electron . If relaxation time is r then write a vector relation b etween drift velocity and electric field.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
2

Using relative motion, the time of collision `t = (h)/(20 + 0) = 1s`
By conservation of momentum for collision `3(10) + 1 (-10) = 4 (V) rArr V = 5 m//s`
`KE = (1)/(2) (4) (5)^(2) = 50J`

Relation Between Drift Velocity And Current

Drift velocity of electrons is ....... .

Every atom makes one free electron in copper. If 1.1 ampere current is flowing in the wire of copper having 1 mm diameter, then the drift velocity (approx.) will be (Density of copper =9 xx 10^(3) kg m^(-3) and atomic weight = 63)

A silver wire 1mm diameter carries a charge of 90 coulombs in 1 hours and 15 minutes. Silver contains 5.8xx10^(28) free electrons per cm^(3) find the current in wire and drift velocity of the electron.

A : The drift velocity of electrons in a metallic wire will decrease, if the temperature of the wire is increased. R: On increasing temperature, conductivity of metallic wire decreases.
