Figure 26-17 shows a rectangular solid conductor of edge lengths L, 2L, and 3L. A potential difference V is to be applied uniformly between pairs of opposite faces of the conductor as in Fig. 26-8b. (The potential difference is applied between the entire face on one side and the entire face on the other side.) First V is applied between the left – right faces, then between the top–bottom faces, and then between the front – back faces. Rank those pairs, greatest first, according to the following (within the conductor): (a) the magnitude of the electric field, (b) the current density, (c) the current, and (d) the drift speed of the electrons.
