At room temperature,copper has a free electron density of $8.4 \times 10^{28} \, m^{-3}$. The copper conductor has a cross-section of $10^{-6} \, m^2$ and carries a current of $5.4 \, A$. The electron drift velocity in copper is:

$A$ cylindrical wire of radius $0.5 \, mm$ and conductivity $5 \times 10^{7} \, S/m$ is subjected to an electric field of $10 \, mV/m$. The expected value of current in the wire will be $x^{3} \, \pi \, mA$. The value of $x$ is ......

Current density in a cylindrical wire of radius $R$ varies with radial distance as $J(r) = \beta(r + r_0)^2$. The current through the shaded section of the wire shown in the figure is:
