In a particle accelerator,a current of $500 \,\mu A$ is carried by a proton beam in which each proton has a speed of $3 \times 10^7 \,m/s$. The cross-sectional area of the beam is $1.50 \,mm^2$. The charge density in this beam (in $C/m^3$) is close to

  • A
    $10^{-8}$
  • B
    $10^{-7}$
  • C
    $10^{-6}$
  • D
    $10^{-5}$

$A$ conducting wire of cross-sectional area $1 \,cm^2$ has $3 \times 10^{23}$ charge carriers per $m^3$. If the wire carries a current of $24 \,mA$, then the drift velocity of the carriers is:

$A$ current $I$ flows through a uniform wire of diameter $d$,when the mean drift velocity is $v_d$. The same current will flow through a wire of diameter $d/2$ made of the same material,if the mean drift velocity of the electrons is

What is current density? Derive Ohm's law in the form of current density.

Assertion: The current density $\vec J$ at any point in an ohmic resistor is in the direction of the electric field $\vec E$ at that point.
Reason: $A$ point charge when released from rest in a region having only an electrostatic field always moves along electric lines of force.

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