Drift Velocity and Wire Dimensions
Two identical conducting wires, A and B, carry the same current. Wire A is then stretched to twice its original length, while its mass remains constant. How does the new drift velocity of charge carriers in wire A compare to the drift velocity in wire B?
A
The drift velocity in wire A is unchanged
B
The drift velocity in wire A is half as much
C
The drift velocity in wire A is 2 times greater
D
The drift velocity in wire A is 4 times greater
