Electric Current and Drift
Cylindrical Conductor Mobility
A cylindrical conductor of length 2 m and area of cross-section 0.2 mm2 carries an electric current of 1.6 A when its ends are connected to a 2 V battery. Mobility of electrons in the conductor is α × 10–3 m2/V.s. The value of α is :
(electron concentration = 5 × 1028/m3 and electron charge = 1.6 × 10–19 C)
