$A$ wire of diameter $0.02\,m$ 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
    $8 \times 10^{3}\,m/s$
