Drift Velocity, Mobility and Their Relation with Electric Current
Important Questions on Drift Velocity, Mobility and Their Relation with Electric Current
The drift velocity of electrons for a conductor connected in an electrical circuit is . The conductor is now replaced by another conductor with same material and same length but double the area of cross-section. The applied voltage remains same. The new drift velocity of electrons will be

A current of exists in a wire of cross-sectional area of with a drift velocity of The number of free electrons in each cubic meter of the wire is

A current of passes through a copper conductor (resistivity ) of radius of cross-section . Find the mobility of the charges if their drift velocity is .

Drift speed of electrons, when current flows in a copper wire of cross section is If the electron density in copper is the value of in is close to (Take charge of an electron to be )

Suppose the drift velocity in a material varied with the applied electric field E as . Then graph for a wire made of such a material is best given by:

When potential difference is applied across a wire of length , the drift speed of electrons is . If the electron density in the wire is , the resistivity of the material is close to:
