$A$ uniform copper wire carries a current $i$ amperes and has $p$ carriers per meter$^3$. The length of the wire is $\lambda$ meters and its cross-section area is $s$ meter $^2$. If the charge on a carrier is $q$ coulombs, the drift velocity in $ms^{-1}$ is given by
  • A$i/\lambda sq$
  • B$i/psq$
  • C$psq/i$
  • D$i/ps\lambda q$
