Is the drift speed a characteristic of the material of the conductor? |
|
Answer» Solution :No. `V_d = i/(neA)` For a given material N and E are constants. But `V_d` DEPENDS on the AMOUNT of current i flowing through the conductor and also on the area of cross section A. That is why we find `v_d ~ 10^(-3) ms^(-1)` etc. with DIFFERENT orders of magnitude for copper. |
