A wire of diameter $0.02\,meter$ contains $10^{28}$ free electrons per cubic meter. For an electrical current of $100\, A$, the drift velocity of the free electrons in the wire is nearly
A$1 \times 10^{-19} \,m/s$
B$5 \times 10^{-10} \,m/s$
C$2 \times 10^{-4} \,m/s$
D$8 \times 10^{3} \,m/s$

c (c) By using ${v_d} = \frac{i}{{neA}} = \frac{{100}}{{{{10}^{28}} \times 1.6 \times {{10}^{ - 19}} \times \frac{\pi }{4} \times {{(0.02)}^2}}}$
$ = 2 \times {10^{ - 4}}\,m/\sec $

A wire has a resistance of $6 \,\Omega$. It is cut into two parts and both half values are connected in parallel. The new resistance is ................ $\Omega$
In the circuit shown, the power developed in the $6\,\Omega $ resistor is $6\,W.$ The power developed in the $4\,\Omega $ resistor is .............. $W$
Three $60\, W$ light bulbs are mistakenly wired in series and connected to a $120\,V$ power supply. Assume the light bulbs are rated for single connection to $120\,V$. With the mistaken connection, the power dissipated by each bulb is: .................. $W$
In the circuit shown below, a student performing Ohm's law experiment accidently puts the voltmeter and the ammeter as shown in the circuit below. The reading in the voltmeter will be close to .......... $V$
Two identical batteries, each of $e.m.f.$ $2\, volt$ and internal resistance $1.0\, ohm$ are available to produce heat in an external resistance $R = 0.5\,ohm$ by passing a current through it. The maximum Joulean power that can be developed across $R$ using these batteries is ............. $watt$
When a current of $2\, A$ flows in a battery from negative to positive terminal, the potential difference across it is $12\, V$. If a current of $3 \,A$ flows in the opposite direction potential difference across the terminals of the battery is $15\, V$, the $emf$ of the battery is ................ $\mathrm{V}$
