A straight conductor of uniform cross-section carries a current I. Let S be the specific charge of an electron. The momentum of all the free electrons per unit length of the conductor due to their drift velocity only, is?
(IS)2
I.S
IS
√IS
Solution:
Specific charge is charge per unit mass, S = e/m Momentum of electrons per unit length = mvl = (e/S)vl = (e/S)(I/t)l = eI/tS = IS
