Because frame of reference decides are your forces positive or negative. It is important for the direction of motion.
Answer:
Vd = 1.597 ×10⁻⁴ m/s
Explanation:
Given: A = 3.90×10⁻⁶ m², I = 6.00 A, ρ = 2.70 g/cm³
To find:
Drift Velocity Vd=?
Solution:
the formula is Vd = I/nqA (n is the number of charge per unit volume)
n = No. of electron in a mole ( Avogadro's No.) / Volume
Volume = Molar mass / density ( molar mass of Al =27 g)
V = 27 g / 2.70 g/cm³ = 10 cm³ = 1 × 10 ⁻⁵ m³
n= (6.02 × 10 ²³) / (1 × 10 ⁻⁵ m³)
n= 6.02 × 10 ²⁸
Now
Vd = (6A) / ( 6.02 × 10 ²⁸ × 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C × 3.9×10⁻⁶ m²)
Vd = 1.597 ×10⁻⁴ m/s
