    For ohmic conductor the drift velocity\[{{\upsilon }_{d}}\] and the electric field applied across it are related as

    A) \[{{v}_{d}}\propto \sqrt{E}\]     

    B)         \[{{v}_{d}}\propto {{E}^{2}}\]

    C)  \[{{v}_{d}}\propto E\]  

    D)         \[{{v}_{d}}\propto \frac{1}{E}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    We have\[l=ne\,A{{v}_{d}}\] and        \[l=\frac{V}{R}\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{V}{R}=ne\,A{{v}_{d}}\] or            \[V=ne\,A{{v}_{d}}.R\]                 \[=neA\,{{v}_{d}}\left( \rho \frac{l}{A} \right)\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{V}{l}=E=ne\rho /{{v}_{d}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[E\propto {{v}_{d}}\]
