A wire whose cross-sectional area is increasing linearly from its one end to the other, is connected across a battery of V volts.
Which of the following quantities remain constant in the wire?
(a) drift speed
(b) current density
(c) electric current
(d) electric field

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?


Define relaxation time of the free electrons drifting in a conductor. How is it related to the drift velocity of free electrons? Use this relation to deduce the expression for the electrical resistivity of the material.


When a current is established in a wire, the free electrons drift in the direction opposite to the current. Does the number of free electrons in the wire continuously decrease?


When a current I is set up in a wire of radius r, the drift velocity is vd· If the same current is set up through a wire of radius 2 r, the drift velocity will be:


An electric bulb.is rated 220 v and 100 watt power consumed by it when operated on 'no volt is:-


The potential difference applied across a given conductor is doubled. How will this affect (i) the mobility of electrons and (ii) the current density in the conductor? Justify your answers.


Explain how free electrons in a metal at constant temperature attain an average velocity under the action of an electric field. Hence, obtain an expression for it.


A potential difference (V) is applied across a conductor of length 'L' and cross-sectional area 'A'.

How will the drift velocity of electrons and the current density be affected if another identical conductor of the same material were connected in series with the first conductor? Justify your answers.


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:

  1. How does the drift velocity change with a change in the potential difference across the conductor?
  2. 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.
