There is a current of $20 \, A$ in a copper wire of $10^{-6} \, m^2$ area of cross-section. If the number of free electrons per cubic meter is $10^{29}$,then the drift velocity is:

$A$. The drift velocity of electrons decreases with the increase in the temperature of a conductor.
$B$. The drift velocity is inversely proportional to the area of cross-section of a given conductor.
$C$. The drift velocity does not depend on the applied potential difference to the conductor.
$D$. The drift velocity of an electron is inversely proportional to the length of the conductor.
$E$. The drift velocity increases with the increase in the temperature of a conductor.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

$A$ copper wire of length $1 \,m$ and uniform cross-sectional area $5 \times 10^{-7} \,m^{2}$ carries a current of $1 \,A$. Assuming that there are $8 \times 10^{28}$ free electrons per $m^{3}$ in copper,how long will an electron take to drift from one end of the wire to the other?

When a potential difference is applied across the ends of a linear metallic conductor,

The drift velocity of free electrons in a conductor is $v$ when a current $i$ is flowing in it. If both the radius and current are doubled,then the drift velocity will be
