A current of 2A2A flows through a wire of cross-sectional area 25.0mm225 . 0{mm}^{2}. The number of free electrons in a cubic meter are 2.0×10282 . 0 \times {10}^{28}. The drift velocity of the electrons is _____ ×10−6ms−1\times {10}^{- 6}{ms}^{- 1}

(given, charge on electron =1.6×10−19C= 1 . 6 \times {10}^{- 19}C).

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

The drift velocity is given by

vd=IneA{v}_{d} = \dfrac{I}{neA}

⇒I=nAevd...(i)⇒ I = nAe{v}_{d} . . . ( i )

The given data is

I=2AA=25×10−6m2n=2×1028e=1.6×10−19CI = 2AA = 25 \times {10}^{- 6}{m}^{2}n = 2 \times {10}^{28}e = 1 . 6 \times {10}^{- 19}C

Substituting the given values in equation (i)

2=2×1028×25×10−6×1.6×10−19×vd⇒vd=22×1028×25×10−6×1.6×10−192 = 2 \times {10}^{28} \times 25 \times {10}^{- 6} \times 1 .6 \times {10}^{- 19} \times {v}_{d} ⇒ {v}_{d} = \dfrac{2}{2 \times {10}^{28} \times 25 \times {10}^{- 6} \times 1 .6 \times {10}^{- 19}}

⇒vd=125×1.6×1000ms−1=25×10−6ms−1⇒ {v}_{d} = \dfrac{1}{25 \times 1 .6 \times 1000}m{s}^{- 1} = 25 \times {10}^{- 6}m{s}^{- 1}
