Drift velocity $v _a$ varies with the intensity of elastic filed as per the relation:
A copper wire of cross-section $2\ {mm}^{2}$ carries a current of $30\ A$. Calculate the root mean square velocity (thermal velocity) of free electrons at $27^oC$. Also ${v} _{d}$ is very small compared to it.
[Data given: ${ \rho } _{ { C } _{ 0 } }=8.9\ gm/cc$, Boltzmann constant $(k)=1.38\times {10}^{23}J/K$
${m} _{0}=9.1\times {10}^{-31}kg.{N} _{A}=6.023\times {10}^{23}$ atomic weight of $Cu=63$]
Two wires $X$ and $Y$ have the same resistivity but their cross-sectional areas are in the ratio $2 : 3$ and lengths in the ratio $1 : 2$. They are first connected in series and then the parallel to a d.c. source. Find the ratio of their drift speeds of the electrons in the two wires for the two cases.
Current is flowing with a current density $J=480\ amp/cm^{2}$ in a copper wire. Assuming that each copper atom contribution one free electron and gives that Avogadro number$=6.0\times 10^{23}\ atoms/mole$ Density of copper $=9.0\ g/cm^{3}$ .Atomic weight of copper $=64\ g/mole$ Electronic charge $=1.6\times 10^{-19}$ coulomb. The drift velocity of electrons is:
Assume that each atom of copper contributes one free electron. The density of copper is $9g cm^{-3}$ and atomic weight of copper is $63$. If the current flowing through a copper wire of $1mm$ diameter is $1.1 $ ampere, the drift velocity of electrons will be:-
How many electrons should be removed from a coil of mass 1.6 gram so that it may float in an electric field of intensity $10^9 NC^-1$ directed upwards ?
How many electrons should be removed from a coin of mass 1.6 gram, so that it may float in an electric field of intensity $10^9 NC^-1$ directed upwards?
A current of $1.0A$ exists in a copper wire of cross-section $1.0mm^2$.Assuming one free electron per atom
There is a current of 1.344 amp in a copper wire whose area of cross-section normal to the length of the wire is $ 1 mm^2 $. If the number of free electrons per $ cm^3 is 8.4 \times 10^22 $, then the drift velocity would be
A current I flows through a uniform wire of diameter d when the electron drift velocity is V .The same current will flow through a wire of diameter d/2 made of the same material if the drift velocity of the electrons is
