Drift velocity: The diameter of a copper wire is 2.05 mm. The maximum safe current it can carry (in order to prevent fire danger in building construction) is 20 A. At this current, what is the drift velocity of the electrons? The number of electron carriers in 1.0 cm3 of copper is 8.5 × 1022 and e = 1.60 × 10-19 C.
A) 0.044 mm/s
B) 0.44 mm/s
C) 0.44 cm/s
D) 0.44 m/s
E) 4.4 cm/s
