QNEET-2023-Ph-358: NEET 2023 Physics - Class 12 NEET-2023-Ph-358 Solution: A copper wire of radius 1 mm contains \(10^{22}\) free…

A copper wire of radius 1 mm contains 102210^{22} free electrons per cubic metre. The drift velocity for free electrons when 10 A current flows through the wire will be (Given charge on electron = 1.6×10−19 C1.6 \times 10^{-19}\ \text{C}): 6.25×104π ms−1\frac{6.25 \times 10^4}{\pi}\ \text{ms}^{-1} 6.25π×103 ms−1\frac{6.25}{\pi} \times 10^3\ \text{ms}^{-1} 6.25π ms−1\frac{6.25}{\pi}\ \text{ms}^{-1} 6.25×105π ms−1\frac{6.25 \times 10^5}{\pi}\ \text{ms}^{-1}
