Consider a copper wire of cross-sectional area \(1 \,\text{mm}^2\) carrying a current \(1\,\text{A}\). What is the drift velocity of the electrons? Cu is monovalent, that is, there is one free electron per atom. The density and molecular weight of Cu are \(9\,\text{g/cc}\) and \(64\,\text{g/mole}\), respectively. \hfill
