To calculate the drift speed of the free electrons in a copper wire, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert the given values to standard units - Current (I) = 1.34 A - Cross-sectional area (A) = 1.0 mm² = \(1.0 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{m}^2\) - Density of copper (\( \rho \)) = 8990 kg/m³ - Atomic mass of copper = 63.50 g/mol = 0.0635 kg/mol ...
