Question : 12
Total: 14
Two conductors, made of the same material have equal lengths but different cross-sectional areas A1 and A2(A1>A2). They are connected in parallel across a cell. Show that the drift velocities of electrons in two conductors are equal.
When two conductors are connected parallel to a cell, then the potential difference across the two conductors will be same.
So, V1=V2
Or, I1R1=I2R2 (from Ohm's law)
Or, neA1vd1R1=neA2vd2R2
Or, A1vd1R1=A2vd2R2
Or, A1vd1ρ
l
A1
=A2vd2ρ
l
A2
( since R=ρ
l
A
)

vd1=vd2
