Question:medium

Two wires A and B made of same material having length 10 cm and 40 cm respectively are connected in parallel to the same source of emf 10 V. What will be the ratio of the drift velocity of the electrons in the wire A to the drift velocity in the wire B?

Show Hint

In parallel circuits, voltage is same, so shorter wire has higher electric field and higher drift velocity.
