    If the radius of a copper wire carrying a current is doubled. The drift velocity of the electron will be:

    A)  increase first then decrease

    B)  remain same

    C)  increase four time

    D)  decrease four times

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    The relation for drift velocity \[i=ne{{\upsilon }_{d}}A\] From it when current is constant \[A{{\upsilon }_{d}}\] is constant when radius is doubled, area becomes four times. Hence the drift velocity become one fourth\[\left( \frac{1}{4} \right)\].
