$A$ $1\,m$ long copper wire carries a current of $1\,A$. If the cross-section of the wire is $2.0\,mm^{2}$ and the resistivity of copper is $1.7 \times 10^{-8}\,\Omega\,m$,the force experienced by a moving electron in the wire is $x \times 10^{-23}\,N$. Find the value of $x$. (Charge on electron $= 1.6 \times 10^{-19}\,C$)

$A$ potential difference is applied across the ends of a metallic wire. If the potential difference is doubled,then the drift velocity

The number density of free electrons in a copper conductor is estimated to be $8.5 \times 10^{28} \ m^{-3}$. How long does an electron take to drift from one end of a wire $6 \ m$ long to its other end? The area of cross-section of the wire is $1.0 \times 10^{-6} \ m^2$ and it is carrying a current of $1.5 \ A$.
