When $5\ V$ potential difference is applied across a wire of length $0.1\ m$,the drift speed of electrons is $2.5 \times 10^{-4} \ m/s$. If the electron density in the wire is $8 \times 10^{28} \ m^{-3}$,the resistivity of the material is close to:

$A$ current $I$ is passing through a wire having two sections $P$ and $Q$ of uniform diameters $d$ and $d/2$ respectively. If the mean drift velocity of electrons in sections $P$ and $Q$ is denoted by $v_P$ and $v_Q$ respectively,then

An insulating pipe of cross-section area $A$ contains an electrolyte which has two types of ions with charges $-e$ and $+2e$. $A$ potential difference applied between the ends of the pipe results in the drifting of the two types of ions,having drift speeds $v$ (for $-e$ ion) and $v/4$ (for $+2e$ ion). Both ions have the same number density $n$. The current flowing through the pipe is:
