The change in mean drift velocity for electrons as they pass from one end of the wire to the other is 3.506 x 10⁻⁷ m/s and average acceleration of the electrons is 4.38 x 10⁻¹⁵ m/s².
The given parameters;
- <em>Current flowing in the wire, I = 4.00 mA</em>
- <em>Initial diameter of the wire, d₁ = 4 mm = 0.004 m</em>
