There is a current of $1.344 \, A$ in a copper wire whose area of cross-section normal to the length of the wire is $1 \, mm^2$. If the number of free electrons per $cm^3$ is $8.4 \times 10^{22}$, then the drift velocity would be

$A$ copper wire has a square cross-section,$2.0 \, mm$ on a side. It carries a current of $8 \, A$ and the density of free electrons is $8 \times 10^{28} \, m^{-3}$. The drift speed of electrons is equal to

Assertion: Free electrons always keep on moving in a conductor,even then no magnetic force acts on them in a magnetic field unless a current is passed through it.
Reason: The average velocity of free electrons is zero.
