प्रश्न
Electron drift speed is estimated to be of the order of mm s−1. Yet large current of the order of few amperes can be set up in the wire. Explain briefly.
उत्तर
Electron drift is estimated to be of the order of mm s−1. However, the current set up in the wires is of the order of few amperes. This is because the electron density is very large in a material. It is of the order 1028/m3 of the wire. Hence, all these electrons contribute to the total current. Therefore, despite having small drift speeds, the current set up in wires is large.

In Ampere's \[\oint \vec{B} \cdot d \vec{l} = \mu_0 i,\] the current outside the curve is not included on the right hand side. Does it mean that the magnetic field B calculated by using Ampere's law, gives the contribution of only the currents crossing the area bounded by the curve?

Consider the experimental set-up shown in the figure. This jumping ring experiment is an outstanding demonstration of some simple laws of Physics. A conducting non-magnetic ring is placed over the vertical core of a solenoid. When current is passed through the solenoid, the ring is thrown off. |

- What will happen if the terminals of the battery are reversed and the switch is closed? Explain.
- Explain the two laws that help us understand this phenomenon.
