What is the number density of charge carriers (electrons) in the wire? Hint for (a) 1 The number density of electrons in the wire is m³ (Use "E" notation to enter your answer in scientific notation. For example, to enter 3.14 × 10¹2, enter "3.14E12".) b. What is the magnitude of the drift velocity of the electrons? Hint for (b) The drift velocity of the electrons is va = m/s. c.
