Physics Question on Drift Velocity
For a given electric current the drift velocity of conduction electrons in a copper wire is vd and their mobility is μ . When the current is increased at constant temperature
A
vd remains the same, μ increases
B
vd decreases, μ remains the same
C
vd remains the same, μ decreases
D
vd increases, μ remains the same
Answer
vd increases, μ remains the same
Explanation
Solution
The correct answer is (D) : vd increases, μ remains the same.
