There is a current of 1.344 amp in a copper wire whose area of cross-section normal to the length of the wire is 1 mm². If the number of free electrons per cm³ is 8.4 × 10²², then the drift velocity would be :

1. 1.0 mm/sec

2. 1.0 m/sec

3. 0.1 mm/sec

4. 0.01 mm/sec

An electric wire of length ‘I’ and area of cross-section a has a resistance R ohms. Another wire of the same material having the same length and area of cross-section 4a has a resistance of :

(1) 4R

(2) R/4

(3) R/16

(4) 16R

If \(n\), \(e\), \(\tau\) and \(m\) respectively represent the density, charge relaxation time and mass of the electron, then the resistance of a wire of length \(l\) and area of cross-section \(A\) will be:
1. \(\frac{ml}{ne^2\tau A}\)
2. \(\frac{m\tau^2A}{ne^2l}\)
3. \(\frac{ne^2\tau A}{2ml}\)
4. \(\frac{ne^2 A}{2m\tau l}\)

The relaxation time in conductors :

(1) Increases with the increase in temperature

(2) Decreases with the increase in temperature

(3) It does not depend on the temperature

(4) All of the sudden changes at 400 K
