A current I is passing through a wire having two sections P and Q of uniform diameters d and d/2, respectively. If the mean drift velocity of electrons in sections P and Q is denoted by νP and νQ respectively, then

a
νP=νQ
b
νP=12νQ
c
νP=14νQ
d
νP=2νQ

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Drift  velocity νd =ineA ⇒ νd ∝1A or  νd ∝1d2⇒νPνQ=dQdP2 = d/2d2 = 14 ⇒νP =14νQ
