Segment of a cylindrical conductor containing moving charge carriers.
Segment of a cylindrical conductor containing moving charge carriers.
A cylindrical conductor has a uniform cross-sectional area \(A\). The conductor contains a free charge carrier density \(n\) (number of charge carriers per unit volume), where each carrier has a charge magnitude \(e\). If the charge carriers move through the conductor with an average drift speed \(v_d\), which of the following expressions represents the electric current \(I\) passing through a cross section of the conductor?
