The drift velocity of electrons in a conducting wire connected to a cell is V _ d . If the length of the wire is doubled and area of cross-section is halved then the drift velocity of electrons becomes.
Options
- AV _ d
- BV_d 2
- C2 ~V _ d
- D4 V_d
Correct answer
B. V_d 2
Step-by-step solution
Drift velocity is given by aligned & v _ d = I neA & v _ d = V neAR ( V = IR ) & = VA neA R = A & = V ne & V _ d ^ = V ne 2 = V _ d 2 aligned
