Question

A copper wire of length 1 m and uniform cross-sectional area $5 \times 10^{-7} \, \text{m}^2$ carries a current of 1 A. Assuming that there are $8 \times 10^{28}$ free electrons per $\text{m}^3$ in copper, how long will an electron take to drift from one end of the wire to the other?

$0.8 \times 10^3 \, \text{s}$

$1.6 \times 10^3 \, \text{s}$

$3.2 \times 10^3 \, \text{s}$

$6.4 \times 10^3 \, \text{s}$
