$A$ current of $10 \, A$ is passing through an aluminum wire of cross-sectional area $4 \times 10^{-6} \, m^{2}$. If the density of aluminum is $2.7 \, g/cm^{3}$ and it provides $1$ free electron per atom for conduction,find the drift speed of the electrons in $\times 10^{-4} \, m/s$. (Given: molecular weight of aluminum = $27 \, g/mol$,Avogadro's number $N_{A} = 6.022 \times 10^{23} \, mol^{-1}$)
