There is a current of $20 \, A$ in a copper wire of $10^{-6} \, m^2$ area of cross-section. If the number of free electrons per cubic meter is $10^{29}$,then the drift velocity is:

  • A
    $125 \times 10^{-3} \, m/s$
  • B
    $12.5 \times 10^{-3} \, m/s$
  • C
    $1.25 \times 10^{-3} \, m/s$
  • D
    $1.25 \times 10^{-4} \, m/s$
