Question

In copper, each atom releases one electron. If a current of 1.1A is flowing in the copper wire of diameter 1mm then the drift velocity of electrons, will approximately be (density of copper =9×103Kgm3 and its atomic weight =63).
  1. 0.1 mm/s
  2. 0.2 cm/s
  3. 0.2 mm/s
  4. 10.3 mm/s

A
0.2 mm/s
B
10.3 mm/s
C
0.1 mm/s
D
0.2 cm/s
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Electron density n=NAρM=(6.023×1023)×(9×103)63×103=0.86×1029m3

Drift velocity vd=IneA=1.1(0.86×1029)×(1.6×1019)×π(0.5×103)2=0.1×103m/s=0.1 mm/s
