उत्तर
`1/N sum_(i = 1)^N V_i = 0`
`a = (-eM)/m`
`V_i = v_i - (eE)/m t_1`
`= 0 -(eM)/m τ = - (eE)/m τ`
`I Delta t = + n e A |V_d | Delta t`
`|j| = ( "ne" ^2)/m τ |E|`

Define the term drift velocity.
Estimate the average drift speed of conduction electrons in a copper wire of cross-sectional area 2·5 × 10−7 m2 carrying a current of 2·7 A. Assume the density of conduction electrons to be 9 × 1028 m−3
The number density of free electrons in a copper conductor is 8.5 × 1028 m−3. How long does an electron take to drift from one end of a wire 3.0 m long to its other end? The area of cross-section of the wire is 2.0 × 10−6 m2 and it is carrying a current of 3.0 A.
When electrons drift in a metal from lower to higher potential, does it mean that all the free electrons of the metal are moving in the same direction?
Consider the following statements.
(A) Free-electron density is different in different metals.
(B) Free-electron density in a metal depends on temperature.
Seebeck Effect is caused _____________ .
Is the momentum conserved when charge crosses a junction in an electric circuit? Why or why not?
The relaxation time τ is nearly independent of applied E field whereas it changes significantly with temperature T. First fact is (in part) responsible for Ohm’s law whereas the second fact leads to variation of ρ with temperature. Elaborate why?
The drift velocity of electrons in a conductor connected to a battery is given by vd = `(−"eE" τ)/"m"`. Here, e is the charge of the electron, E is the electric field, τ is the average time between collisions and m is the mass of the electron.
Based on this, answer the following:
- How does the drift velocity change with a change in the potential difference across the conductor?
- A copper wire of length 'l' is connected to a source. If the copper wire is replaced by another copper wire of the same area of cross-section but of length '4l', how will the drift velocity change? Explain your answer.
What is the average velocity acquired by free electrons in a conductor under the influence of an electric field called?
Why do free electrons in a metal move randomly when no electric field is present?
