AP Physics 2
11.1 Electric Current
A cylindrical copper wire carries a constant electric current \(I\). The wire is replaced by a second copper wire of the same length but with half the cross-sectional area, carrying the same current \(I\). If the drift velocity of the conduction electrons in the original wire is \(v_d\), what is the drift velocity of the conduction electrons in the second wire?
