The drift velocity of free electrons in a conductor is \(v\) when a current \(i\) is flowing in it. If both the radius and current are doubled, then the drift velocity will be:

The current \(I\) as shown in the circuit will be:

A meter bridge is set up to determine unknown resistance \(x\) using a standard \(10~\Omega\) resistor. The galvanometer shows the null point when the tapping key is at a \(52\) cm mark. End corrections are \(1\) cm and \(2\) cm respectively for end \(A\) and \(B\). Then the value of \(x\) is:

2. \(10.6~\Omega\)
3. \(10.8~\Omega\)
4. \(11.1~\Omega\)
