The drift velocity of electrons in a conductor is of the order of:
m/s
cm/s
mm/s
km/s
If the current in a conductor is doubled, keeping the area of cross-section and the number density of charge carriers constant, the drift velocity:
halves
doubles
remains the same
quadruples
How does the relaxation time of electrons in a conductor affect drift velocity?
Drift velocity is inversely proportional to relaxation time.
Drift velocity is directly proportional to relaxation time.
Relaxation time has no effect on drift velocity.
Drift velocity is proportional to the square of the relaxation time.
Two wires, A and B, made of the same material and having the same length, carry the same current. If the cross-sectional area of A is twice that of B, the ratio of their drift velocities () is:
1:1
1:2
2:1
4:1
The direction of drift velocity of electrons in a metallic conductor is:
same as the direction of the electric field
opposite to the direction of the electric field
perpendicular to the direction of the electric field
independent of the direction of the electric field
