Two wires both carry the same current I. The moving charged particles in both wires are electrons, but the concentration of moving electrons in wire #1 is double the concentration of moving electrons in wire #2.

nder what circumstances will the drift speed of electrons be the same in both wires?

if the diameter of wire #2 is 4 times the diameter of wire #1
if the diameter of wire #2 is \sqrt 2 times the diameter of wire #1
if the diameter of wire #2 is 1/\sqrt 2 the diameter of wire #1
if the diameter of wire #2 is 2 times the diameter of wire #1
if the diameter of wire #2 is 1/2 the diameter of wire #1
if the diameter of wire #2 is 1/4 the diameter of wire #1

Answer #1

for wire1, inital DRIFT velocity is Vd = i/2neA

for wire 2, Vd = i/neA

here we must get Vd to be same for certain conditions

i,e i1/(2neA) = i2/(neA)

here i1=,i2

so 1/2A1 = 1/A2

A2 = 2A1

but A = pid^2/4

pid1^2/4 = 2* Pi d2^2/4

d2^2 = 2* d1^2

so d2 = sqrt2 times of d1

so
if the diameter of wire #2 is \sqrt 2 times the diameter of wire #1 is the answert

Answer #2

initial drift velocity Vd =i/2neA

so to get this we hav eto see the folloeing codtion to be fullfilled
if the diameter of wire #2 is \sqrt 2 times the diameter of wire #1
