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 r2r2<r1.

Choose the correct option as one moves from P to Q.

  1. Drift velocity of electron increases.
  2. Electric field decreases.
  3. Electron current decreases.
  4. All of these

Solution

Current is constant in conductor
i=constant
Resistance of element dR=ρdxπr2
dV=idR= ipdx πr2
E=dVdx=iρπr2
and Vd=eEτm
 Vd×E

E1r2

If r decreases, E will increase.

 Vd will increase.
