There is a current of $40 \ A$ in a wire of cross-sectional area $10^{-6} \ m^2$. If the number of free electrons per $m^3$ is $10^{29}$,then the drift velocity will be:

  • A
    $1.25 \times 10^3 \ m/s$
  • B
    $2.50 \times 10^{-3} \ m/s$
  • C
    $25.0 \times 10^{-3} \ m/s$
  • D
    $250 \times 10^{-3} \ m/s$
