When the current i is flowing through a ...

When the current i is flowing through a conductor, the drift velocity is v . If 2i current is flowed through the same metal but having double the area of cross-section, then the drift velocity will be

A

`v//4`

B

`v//2`

C

v

D

4v

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`I = "ne"Av_(d) rArr v_(d) = 1/("ne"A) = v_(d)`
