    How many electrons are transferred per second between the supply and the wire at one end? (b) Write down the current density in the wire.
    Ans : Let q be the charge transferred per second and n be the number of electrons transferred per second.
    We know:
    `` i=\frac{V}{R}``
    `` \Rightarrow i=\frac{20\,\mathrm{\,V\,}}{{10}^{3}\,\mathrm{\,\Omega \,}}``
    `` \Rightarrow i=20\times {10}^{-3}=2\times {10}^{-2}\,\mathrm{\,A\,}``
    `` q\mathit{=}it``
    `` \Rightarrow q=2\times {10}^{-2}\times 1``
    `` \Rightarrow q=2\times {10}^{-2}\,\mathrm{\,C\,}``
    Also,
    q = ne
    `` \Rightarrow n=\frac{q}{e}=\frac{2\times {10}^{-2}}{1.6\times {10}^{-19}}``
    `` \Rightarrow n=1.25\times {10}^{17}`` (b) Current density of a wire,
    `` j=\frac{i}{A}``
    `` \Rightarrow j=\frac{2\times {10}^{-2}}{3.14\times {10}^{-8}}``
    `` \Rightarrow j=6.37\times {10}^{5}\,\mathrm{\,A\,}/{\,\mathrm{\,m\,}}^{2}``
