$A$ current of $5 \,A$ is passing through a metallic wire of cross-sectional area $4 \times 10^{-6} \,m^{2}$. If the density of charge carriers of the wire is $5 \times 10^{26} \,m^{-3}$, the drift velocity of the electrons will be:

  • A
    $1 \times 10^{2} \,ms^{-1}$
  • B
    $1.56 \times 10^{-2} \,ms^{-1}$
  • C
    $1.56 \times 10^{-3} \,ms^{-1}$
  • D
    $1 \times 10^{-2} \,ms^{-1}$
