There is a current of 1.344 A in a copper wire whose area of cross-section normal to the length of the wire is 1 mm2. If the number of free electrons per cm3 is 8.4×  1022,  then the drift velocity would be

a
1.0 mm/s
b
1.0 m/s
c
0.1 mm/s
d
0.01 mm/s

detailed solution

Correct option is C

νd = inAe =  1.34410−6 × 1.6 ×10−19× 8.4 ×1022  =1.34410 × 1.6 × 8.4 = 0.01  cm/s=0.1  mm/s
