Draw the grap.
Answers
♦I = nAevd
- Where n is the electron density or no. of electrons per unit volume of the conductor and A is the area of cross section of the conductor.
- The small value of the drif velocity produces a large amount of current due to presence of large number of free electrons in a conductor.
- The propagation of current is at the speed of light.
♦And your graph for Ohm's law is provided above.

Relation Between Current and Drift Velocity
consider a conductor of length l and uniform age of cross section A
Let n new the number of free electrons per unit volume in metal
when a potential difference V is applied across the conductor the electric field E=v/l
because of the electric field the free electrons drift opposite to the electric field with drift velocity vd
let the distance moved by free electrons equal to vd ∆t[short interval of time
volume of conductor=Avd∆t
the number of electrons drifting in this volume is nAvd∆t
charge of electron=negative
so the total charge transportated accross area A is -enAvd∆t
thus,the amount of charge transported in a time ∆t across the area of cross section A in direction opposite to electric field is ∆Q=enAvd∆t
if l is the magnitude of the current in the conductor ∆Q=l∆t
thus l∆t= ne A vd∆t --------1
l=n e A vd
gives the relationship between current and drift velocity
