A wire with a radius of 5.94mm is made of a conducting material that has an atomic mass of 64.6 grams/mole and a mass density of 5.66x10³ kg/m³. You can assume that each atom of the material has one free electron associated with it. What is the drift velocity in a 10.3 cm long section of wire that is carrying 624 Amps? Assume 3 significant digits and units of mm/s. Watch out for units!

What is the drift velocity in a 10.3 cm long section of wire that is carrying 624 Amps?

A wire with a radius of 5.94mm is made of a conducting
material that has an atomic mass of 64.6 grams/mole and
a mass density of 5.66x103 kg/m³. You can assume that
each atom of the material has one free electron
associated with it. What is the drift velocity in a 10.3 cm
long section of wire that is carrying 624 Amps? Assume
3 significant digits and units of mm/s. Watch out for
units!
