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.

In a wire with a cross-sectional area of $1 \, cm^2$ carrying a current of $24 \, mA$,the electron number density is $3 \times 10^{23} \, m^{-3}$. What is the drift velocity?

Two wires $A$ and $B$ of the same material,having radii in the ratio $1: 2$,carry currents in the ratio $4: 1$. The ratio of drift speed of electrons in $A$ and $B$ is .......

The drift velocity of the electrons in a copper wire of length $2\ m$ under the application of a potential difference of $200\ V$ is $0.5\ m/s$. Their mobility (in $m^2 V^{-1} s^{-1}$) is

There are $0.8 \times 10^{23}$ free electrons $/ cm^3$ in copper. If a $0.2 \, A$ current is flowing in a copper wire, then the drift velocity of electrons will be, given the cross-sectional area of the wire is $0.01 \, cm^2$.
