Questions Related to drift speed
A charged particle having drift velocity of $7.5\times 10^{-4}m$ $s^{-1}$ in electric field of $3\times 10^{-10}$V $m^{-1}$, mobility is?
Which of the following characteristics of electrons determines the current in a conductor?
When current flows through a conductor, then the order of drift velocity of electrons will be:-
Potential difference of $100 V$ is applied to the ends of a copper wire one metre long. Find the ratio of average drift velocity and thermal velocity of electrons at $27^\circ C$. (Consider there is one conduction electron per atom. The density of copper is $9.0 \times 10^3$; Atomic mass of copper is $63.5 g$.
$N _A = 6.0 \times 10^{23}$ per gram-mole, conductivity of copper is $5.81 \times 10^{7} \Omega^{-1}$.$K =1.38 \times 10^{-23} JK^{-1}$).
Assertion: When a straight wire is bent to form L-shape, its resistance increases.
Reason: Electrons take longer time to travel along a bent wire, as compared to travel along a straight wire.
When the current in a wire is 1A, the drift velocity is $1.2\times 10^{-4}ms^{-1}$. The drift velocity when current becomes 5 A is
A charge $A$ of $+3 \ mC$ is placed at $k=0$ and a charge $B$ of $-5 \ mC$ at $k=40 \ mm.$ Where a third charge q be placed on the axis such that it experiences no force is
In conducting wire of radius $5 \, mm$, resistivity $\rho = 1.1 \times 10^{-8} \Omega/m$ and current of $5 A$ is flowing. Drift velocity of free electron is $1.1 \times 10^{-3} \, m/s$ find out mobility of free electron.
A current passes through a resistor. If K$ _1$ and K$ _2$ represent the average kinetic energy of the conduction electrons and the metal ions respectively then
Mobility of free electrons in a conductor is:
