Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 332

Question: Drift velocity $ v _{d} $ varies with the intensity of electric field as per the relation

[CPMT 1981; BVP 2003]

Options:

A) $ v _{d}\propto E $

B) $ v _{d}\propto \frac{1}{E} $

C) $ v _{d}=\text{constant} $

D) $ v _{d}\propto E^{2} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

$ v _{d}=\frac{e}{m}\times \frac{V}{l}\tau $ or $ v _{d}=\frac{e}{m}.\frac{El}{l}\tau $ (Since $ V=El) $
$ \

Therefore v _{d}\propto E $
