  • question_answer
    The electron drift speed is small and the charge of the electron is also small but still, we obtain large current in a conductor. This is due to

    A)  the conducting property of the conductor

    B)  the resistance of the conductor is small

    C)  the electron number density of the conductor is small

    D)  the electron number density of the conductor is enormous

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     In a conductor, the electron number density ie,  number of electrons per unit volume of a conductor is very large \[(\approx {{10}^{28}}{{m}^{-3}}),\] so large current in a conductor is obtained irrespective of their small drift speed.
