DRIFT VELOCITY AND CURRENT
1.Two wires ‘A’ & ‘B’ are of the same metal and of the same length. Their areas of cross-sections are in the ratio of 2:1. if the same potential difference is applied across each wire in turn, what will be the ratio of the currents flowing in ‘A’ to ‘B’?
2. Explain, with the help of a graph, the variation of conductivity with temperature for a metallic conductor.
3. Draw V-I graph for ohmic and non-ohmic materials. Give one example for each.
4. Explain how does the resistivity of a metal depend upon (i) number density ‘n’ of free electrons, & (ii) relaxation time‘t’.
5. Explain how electron mobility changes for a good conductor
(i) when temperature of the conductor is decreased at constant potential difference. 
(ii) applied potential difference is doubled at constant temperature.
8. Write the mathematical relation between mobility and drift velocity of charge carriers in a conductor.
