1. When current flows through a metal conductor, then the order of drift velocity of electrons will be 10-2 cm/s 2. When the current I is flowing through a metal conductor, the drift velocity is v. If 2 I current is flowing through the similar metal conductor but having double the area of cross-section, then the drift velocity will be 4 v. 3. If an electric current is passed through a nerve of a man, the man is excited. 4. The reciprocal of specific resistance is conductance. 5. Mobility of a charge carrier, responsible for current is the ratio of electric field applied and drifts velocity of charge carrier. 6. Current is a scalar and current density is a vector quantity. 7.
