Q148 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2025 (26 MAY SHIFT 1) · Physics

The area of cross-section of a copper wire is $4 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~m}^2$ and the electrons per cubic metre in copper is $8 \times 10^{28}$. If the wire carries a current of 6.4 A, then the drift velocity of the electrons (in $10^{-3} \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}$ ) is

  • A
    $0.25$
  • B
    $2.5$
  • C
    $0.125$
  • Correct answer
    D
    $1.25$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
