Answer the following question.
How is the drift velocity in a conductor affected with the rise in temperature?
उत्तर
Drift velocity is dependent on temperature i.e. When the temperature is increased the electrons become kinetically excited means rise in temperature causes atoms to vibrate more, which increases the number of collisions electron have on their way through the wire and decreases the drift velocity.

A hank of uninsulated wire consisting of seven and a half turns is stretched between two nails hammered into a board to which the ends of the wire are fixed. The resistance of the circuit between the nails is determined with the help of electrical measuring instruments. Determine the proportion in which the resistance will change if the wire is unwound so that the ends remain to be fixed to the nails.
