Drift of Electrons and the Origin of Resistivity
PHXII03:CURRENT ELECTRICITY

357005 Two identical conductors maintained at same temperatures are given potential difference in the ratio 1 : 2. The ratio of their drift velocities is

1 1:2
2 1:4
3 3:2
4 1:1
PHXII03:CURRENT ELECTRICITY

357006 When a current I is set up in a wire of radius r, the drift velocity is vd. If the same current is set up through a wire of radius 2r, the drift velocity will be

1 4vd
2 2vd
3 vd/2
4 vd/4
PHXII03:CURRENT ELECTRICITY

357008 Assertion :
The drift velocity of electrons in a metallic wire will decrease, if the temperature of the wire is increased.
Reason :
On increasing temperature, conductivity of metallic wire decreases.
