The drift velocity of electrons for a conductor connected in an electrical circuit is $V_{d}$. The conductor is now replaced by another conductor of the same material and same length but with double the area of cross-section. The applied voltage remains the same. The new drift velocity of electrons will be

When a potential difference is applied across a linear metallic conductor,then:

$A$ current of $2 \,A$ is passing through a metal wire of cross-sectional area $2 \times 10^{-6} \,m^{2}$. If the number density of free electrons in the wire is $5 \times 10^{26} \,m^{-3}$, the drift speed of electrons is (Given, $e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \,C$)

Choose the correct option with respect to the statements $A$ and $B$:
$(A)$: When no electric field is applied across a conductor,the path of free electrons between two successive collisions in it is straight.
$(B)$: When an electric field is applied across a conductor,the drift velocity of electrons is independent of time.

In the given hollow cylindrical conductor,the current density is $J = \frac{J_0}{r^2}$,where $J_0$ is a constant and $r$ is the distance from the axis of the cylinder. If the radius of the inner surface is $a$ and the radius of the outer surface is $2a$,find the current passed through the conductor.
