$A$ charged particle is moving in an electric field of $3 \times 10^{-10} \text{ Vm}^{-1}$ with mobility $2.5 \times 10^6 \text{ m}^2 \text{V}^{-1} \text{s}^{-1}$. Its drift velocity is:

  • A
    $8.33 \times 10^{-4} \text{ m/s}$
  • B
    $25 \times 10^4 \text{ m/s}$
  • C
    $1.2 \times 10^{-4} \text{ m/s}$
  • D
    $7.5 \times 10^{-4} \text{ m/s}$
