AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem step by step, we will first calculate the current in the silver wire and then find the drift velocity of the electrons. ### Step 1: Calculate the time in seconds The total time given is 1 hour and 15 minutes. We need to convert this into seconds. 1 hour = 60 minutes 1 hour and 15 minutes = 60 + 15 = 75 minutes ...
