Drift Speed given Cross-Sectional Area Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Drift Speed = Electric Current/(Number of Electrons*[Charge-e]*Cross-Sectional Area)
V_d = I/(e^-*[Charge-e]*A)
This formula uses 1 Constants, 4 Variables

Constants Used

[Charge-e] - Charge of electron Value Taken As 1.60217662E-19

Variables Used

Drift Speed - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Drift Speed is the average velocity of electrons in a conductor, which is responsible for the flow of electric current.
Electric Current - (Measured in Ampere) - Electric Current is the flow of electrons in a conductor, measured in amperes, and is a fundamental concept in understanding electrical circuits and devices.
Number of Electrons - Number of Electrons is the total quantity of electrons flowing through a conductor in a unit of time, typically measured in coulombs.
Cross-Sectional Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - Cross-Sectional Area is the area of a given cross-section of a conductor, which affects the flow of electric current through it.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Electric Current: 2.1 Ampere --> 2.1 Ampere No Conversion Required
Number of Electrons: 3600000000 --> No Conversion Required
Cross-Sectional Area: 14 Square Millimeter --> 1.4E-05 Square Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
