Important Questions on Electric Current, Drift Velocity and Ohm's Law
A conductor carries a current of . If the area of cross-section of the conductor is then the value of the current density in is

Calculate mean free path in at room temperature if number density of free electrons is and resistivity . Given .

Nichrome or Manganin is widely used in wire bound standard resistors because of their

We are able to obtain fairly large currents in a conductor because

Mobilities of electrons and holes in a sample of intrinsic germanium at room temperature are and The electron and hole densities are each equal to The electrical conductivity of germanium is

Calculate the drift velocity of electrons in silver wire with cross-sectional area carrying a current of . Given the atomic weight of density of silver .

On increasing the temperature of a conductor, its resistance increases because

The electron drift speed is small and the charge of the electron is also small but still, we obtain a large current in a conductor. This is due to

Current of amperes is flowing through a conductor. The number of electrons per second will be

Charge passing through a conductor of cross-section area is given by in coulomb, where is in seconds. What is the value of drift velocity at (Given, )
