Calculate the drift speed of electrons when 1A of current flows in a copper wire of cross section 2 "min"^2 . The number of free electrons in 1 cm^3 of copper is 8.5 xx 10^(22).

Answer»

SOLUTION :From TE current and drift velocity RELATION I = Ane `v_d`,
`v_d = I/("Ane") =(1)/(2XX10^(-6) xx 8.5 xx 10^(28) xx 1.6xx10^(-19))`
`=3.7xx10^(-5) ` m/s
