Get started for freeCopper has free electrons per cubic meter. A 71.0-cm
length of 12-gauge copper wire that is 2.05 mm in diameter carries 4.85 A of
current. (a) How much time does it take for an electron to travel the length
of the wire? (b) Repeat part (a) for 6-gauge copper wire (diameter 4.12 mm)
of the same length that carries the same current. (c) Generally speaking,
how does changing the diameter of a wire that carries a given amount of
current affect the drift velocity of the electrons in the wire?
