Question
The area of cross section, length, and density of a piece of metal of atomic weight 60 are 10−6m2, 1 m, and 5×103kgm−3, respectively. If every atom contributes one free electron, find the drift velocity (in mms−1) of electrons in the metal when a current of 16 A passes through it. Avogadro's number is NA=6×1023/mol and charge on an electron is e=1.6×10−19C
