    A conductor wire, having \[{{10}^{29}}\text{free }e/{{m}^{3}}\] carries a current 20A. If the cross-section of the wire is 1mm2 then the drift velocity of the electrons will be of the order of :

    A)  \[{{10}^{-7}}m/s\]                         

    B)  \[{{10}^{-5}}m/s\]

    C)  \[{{10}^{-2}}m/s\]                         

    D)  \[{{10}^{-}}^{3}m/s\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    Using the -relation, \[i=neA{{\upsilon }_{d}}\] \[n={{10}^{29}}\] where, \[A=1m{{m}^{2}}=1\times {{10}^{-6}}{{m}^{2}}\]                 \[i=20amp\,\,e=1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}C\] So,          \[{{\upsilon }_{d}}=\frac{i}{neA}\]                 \[=\frac{20}{{{10}^{29}}\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}\times {{10}^{-6}}}={{10}^{-3}}m/s\]
