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 :

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:

2. Resistivity

3. Voltage

4. None of the above

A solenoid is at the potential difference of \(60~\text V\) and the current flows through it is \(15~\text A\) then the resistance of the coil will be:
