Question
If the number density of electrons in a wire is n = 1.00 × 1028 m-3, at what drift velocity must they
travel through a wire of diameter d = 0.520 mm to deliver a current of 2.90 A?
Give your answer in mm s-1 to 3 significant figures.
Take π = 3.14, and the magnitude of the charge on an electron e = 1.60 × 10-¹⁹ C
