The drift velocity of electrons for a conductor connected in an electrical circuit is $V_{d}$. The conductor is now replaced by another conductor of the same material and same length but with double the area of cross-section. The applied voltage remains the same. The new drift velocity of electrons will be

  • A
    $V_{d}$
  • B
    $\frac{V_{d}}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{V_{d}}{4}$
  • D
    $2V_{d}$

Which particles are responsible for the conductivity of metals?

Statement $(I)$: Specific resistance depends on the nature of the material and is independent of the temperature of the material.
Statement $(II)$: $A$ wire of resistance $6 \ \Omega$ is drawn out so that its new length is four times its original length. The resistance of the new wire is $48 \ \Omega$.
Statement $(III)$: Drift velocity is the average constant velocity acquired by free electrons inside a metal by the application of an electric field,which results in current.
Which of the following is correct?

When current flows through a conductor,then the order of drift velocity of electrons will be

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.

$A$ metal wire is subjected to a constant potential difference. When the temperature of the metal wire increases,the drift velocity of the electron in it
