Answer:
= 1.75 × 10⁻⁴ m/s
Explanation:
Given:
Density of copper, ρ = 8.93 g/cm³
mass, M = 63.5 g/mol
Radius of wire = 0.625 mm
Current, I = 3A
Area of the wire, =
Now,
The current density, J is given as
= 2444619.925 A/mm²
now, the electron density,
where,
=Avogadro's Number
Now,
the drift velocity,
where,
e = charge on electron = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C
thus,
= 1.75 × 10⁻⁴ m/s
