To calculate the drift velocity of conduction electrons in a copper wire, we can use the formula for current, which relates the current (I), the number density of charge carriers (N), the charge of the electron (e), the cross-sectional area of the wire (A), and the drift velocity (v): \[ I = N \cdot e \cdot A \cdot v \] ### Step 1: Convert the diameter of the wire to radius and calculate the cross-sectional area (A). Given: - Diameter (D) = 2 mm = 2 × 10^-3 m ...
