A copper rod ABCD is bent in the form of a circular arc as shown in the figure and its two end are connected to the terminals of a battery. If drift velocity of free electrons at the edges AB and CD are V1 and V2 respectively, then

a
V1 = V2
b
V1 > V2
c
V1 < V2
d
sufficient information is not given to compare V1 with V2

detailed solution

Correct option is C

consider two arc like elements, each of cross sectional area ∆A, near the edges AB and CD.Now Vd=jne=Eρ.l∆A.∆A.ne=Eρnel⇒Vd∝1lsince the arc length AB is greater than CD, we can conclude V1 < V2 .
