Two cylindrical rods of uniform cross-sectional area $A$ and $2A$,having free electrons per unit volume $2n$ and $n$ respectively,are joined in series. $A$ current $I$ flows through them in a steady state. Then the ratio of the drift velocity of free electrons in the left rod to the drift velocity of electrons in the right rod is $\left( \frac{v_L}{v_R} \right)$.

There is a current of $1.344 \, A$ 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

The drift velocity of electrons for a conductor connected in an electrical circuit is $V_{d}$. The conductor is now replaced by another conductor of the same material and same length but with double the area of cross-section. The applied voltage remains the same. The new drift velocity of electrons will be

We are able to obtain fairly large currents in a conductor because

$A$ cylindrical conductor of diameter $0.1 \text{ mm}$ carries a current of $90 \text{ mA}$. The current density (in $\text{Am}^{-2}$) is (take $\pi \simeq 3$):
