NEET Physics Drift Velocity MCQ Question
In the given figure, a battery of emf E is connected across a conductor PQ of length 'l' and different area of cross-sections having radii r₁ and r₂ (r₂ < r₁). Choose the correct option as one moves from P to Q:
Drift velocity of electron increases.
Electric field decreases.
Electron current decreases.
All of the above
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
As the area of cross-section decreases, the drift velocity increases to maintain the current continuity.
