Question:

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
