Find the velocity of charge leading to 1 A1 \text{ A} current which flows in a copper conductor of cross-section 1 cm21 \text{ cm}^2 and length 10 km10 \text{ km}. Free electron density of copper is 8.5×1028/m38.5 \times 10^{28} / \text{m}^3. How long will it take the electric charge to travel from one end of the conductor to the other?
