Two wires each of radius of cross section r

Asked by admin @ 13/08/2021 in Physics viewed by 278 People

two wires each of radius of cross section r but of different materials are connected together end to end (in series). If the densities of charge carriers in the two wires are in the ratio 1:4, the drift velocity of electrons in the two wires will be in the ratio:

Answered by admin @ 13/08/2021

Let, the drift velocities of the wires be vd and vd' respectively.
Area of cross- section of two wires be A and A'.

Then,
A : A' = 1:4
This implies,
A' = 4A
i) When the two wires are connected in series, the same amount of current flows through both the wires.
Implies,
n A vd e = n A' vd' e
where,
n is the number of electrons per unit volume and,
e is the charge on electron.
Therefore,vd=A'A =4A
A=4:1
vdvd' = A'A = 2AA = 2 : 1
ii) When the two wires are connected in parallel, the potential difference across the two wires would be the same.
