  • B
    $0.7 \times 10^{-6} \ Am^{-2}$

Consider a metallic cube of edge length $L$. Its resistance,$R$,measured across its opposite faces is $R = \frac{m_e v}{n e^2 L^2}$,where $n$ is the number density and $v$ is the drift speed of electrons in the cube,and $e$ and $m_e$ are the charge and mass of an electron respectively. Assuming the de-Broglie wavelength of the electron to be $L$,the maximum resistance of the sample is closest to ............. $\Omega$ ($e = 1.60 \times 10^{-19} \, C$; $m_e = 9.11 \times 10^{-31} \, kg$; Planck's constant,$h = 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \, Js$)

The quantities that do not change when a resistor connected to a battery is heated due to the current are:
$(A)$ drift speed
$(B)$ resistivity
$(C)$ resistance
$(D)$ number of free electrons

We are able to obtain fairly large currents in a conductor because

For which of the following dependencies of drift velocity $v_d$ on electric field $E$ is Ohm's law obeyed?

Choose the correct option with respect to the statements $A$ and $B$:
$(A)$: When no electric field is applied across a conductor,the path of free electrons between two successive collisions in it is straight.
$(B)$: When an electric field is applied across a conductor,the drift velocity of electrons is independent of time.
