A copper rod of cross-sectional area A carries a uniform current I through it. At temperature T, if the volume charge density of the rod is ρ, how long will the charges take to travel a distance d?
2ρdAI/T
2ρdAI
ρdAI/T
ρdAI
Solution:
The correct option is C. ρdAI/T
I = ρvA (where v = velocity of charge) v = I/ρA t = d/v t = d/(I/ρA) = ρdAI/T
