    Answer:

    Part (a) current in the wire is 1.144 A

    Part (b) the drift velocity of electrons in the wire is 1.028 x 10⁻⁴ m/s

    Explanation:

    Given;

    diameter d  = 1.02 mm

    current density J = 1.40×10⁶ A/m²

    number of electron = 8.5×10²⁸ electrons

    Part (a) Current in the wire

    I = J×A

    Where A is area of the wire;

    [tex]A = \frac{\pi d^2}{4} \\\\A = \frac{\pi (1.02X10^{-3})^2}{4} = 8.1723 X10^{-7} m^2[/tex]

    I = 1.40 x 10⁶ x 8.1723 x 10⁻⁷

    I = 1.144 A

    Part (b) the drift velocity of electrons in the wire

    [tex]V = \frac{J}{nq} = \frac{1.4X10^6}{8.5X10^{28} X 1.602X10^{-19}} = 1.028 X10^{-4} m/s[/tex]
