  • A
    $v_d/4$
  • B
    $v_d/2$

$A$ 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:

An insulating pipe of cross-section area $A$ contains an electrolyte which has two types of ions with charges $-e$ and $+2e$. $A$ potential difference applied between the ends of the pipe results in the drifting of the two types of ions,having drift speeds $v$ (for $-e$ ion) and $v/4$ (for $+2e$ ion). Both ions have the same number density $n$. The current flowing through the pipe is:

Every atom contributes one free electron in copper. If $1.1 \ A$ current is flowing in a copper wire having a $1 \ mm$ diameter,then the drift velocity (approx.) will be (Density of copper $= 9 \times 10^3 \ kg \ m^{-3}$ and atomic weight $= 63$).
