The potential difference across a conducting wire of length $20 \ cm$ is $30 \ V$. If the electron mobility is $2 \times 10^{-6} \ m^2 \ V^{-1} \ s^{-1}$,then the drift velocity of the electrons is

  • A
    $3 \times 10^{-3} \ ms^{-1}$
  • B
    $1.5 \times 10^{-3} \ ms^{-1}$
  • C
    $1.5 \times 10^{-4} \ ms^{-1}$
  • D
    $3 \times 10^{-4} \ ms^{-1}$
