NEETPhysicsCurrent Electricity
If the current in resistance of uniform cross section is doubled then, (assume temperature to be approximately constant). (A) the current density is doubled (B) the conduction electron density is doubled (C) the mean time between collision is constant (D) the electron drift speed is doubled
Options
- AA, C, D
- BB, C, D
- CA, B, C
- DA, B, C, D
Correct answer
A. A, C, D
Step-by-step solution
- (A) The current density is doubled: - Current density (J ) is given by (J= I A ), where (I ) is the current and (A ) is the cross-sectional area. If the current (I ) is doubled and the cross-sectional area (A ) remains constant, then the current density will also double. This statement is true. - (B) The conduction electron density is doubled: - The conduction electron density refers to the number of free electrons per unit volume in the material, which is a property of the material and does not change with the c
