A copper wire has a circular cross section with a radius of 1.36 mm.

HINT

(a)

If the wire carries a current of 3.13 A, find the drift speed (in m/s) of electrons in the wire. (Take the density of mobile charge carriers in copper to be n = 1.10 ✕ 1029 electrons/m3.)

m/s

(b)

For the same wire size and current, find the drift speed (in m/s) of electrons if the wire is made of aluminum with n = 2.11 ✕ 1029 electrons/m3.

m/s
