Question : 8 of 11
Marks: +1, -0
A potential difference (V)(V) is applied across a conductor of length ' LL ' and cross-sectional area ' AA '.
How will the drift velocity of electrons and the current density be affected if another identical conductor of the same material were connected in series with the first conductor? Justify your answers.
Since,
  R=P  LA\;R=P\;\frac{L}{A}
  I=  VR=  VρLA=  VAρL\;I=\;\frac{V}{R}=\;\frac{V}{\frac{\rho L}{A}}=\;\frac{V A}{\rho L}
  I=neAVd=  VAρL\;I=n e A V_d=\;\frac{V A}{\rho L}
when another conductor is joint in series
    Effective Resistance  =R+R=  2ρLA\;\;\text{Effective Resistance}\;=R+R=\;\frac{2\rho L}{A}
    Effective current  =  V2R=  V2ρLA=  VA2ρL\;\;\text{Effective current}\;=\;\frac{V}{2R}=\;\frac{V}{\frac{2\rho L}{A}}=\;\frac{V A}{2\rho L}
Now   VA2ρL=neAVd\;\frac{V A}{2\rho L}=n e A V_{d'}
or,       12(  VAρLa)=neAVd\;\;\;\frac{1}{2}\left(\;\frac{V A}{\rho L a}\right)=n e A V_d
or,       12×neAVd=neAVd\;\;\;\frac{1}{2}\times n e A V_d=n e A V_{d'}
or Vd=2VdV_d=2 V_d'
Drift velocity in second case will be half of the initial drift velocity
Current density =J=neVd=J=n e V_d
Initially current density =J=neVd=J=n e V_d
When another conductor injured in series current density J=neVdJ'=n e V_{d'}
  JJ  =  VdVd  =  2VdVd=2\;\frac{J}{J'}\;=\;\frac{V_d}{V_d'}\;=\;\frac{2 V d'}{V_d'}=2
J  =2JJ\;=2 J'
Current density in second case will be half of the initial current density.
