Every atom contributes one free electron in copper. If $1.1 \ A$ current is flowing in a copper wire having a $1 \ mm$ diameter,then the drift velocity (approx.) will be (Density of copper $= 9 \times 10^3 \ kg \ m^{-3}$ and atomic weight $= 63$).

  • A
    $0.3 \ mm/s$
  • B
    $0.1 \ mm/s$
  • C
    $0.2 \ mm/s$
  • D
    $0.2 \ cm/s$
