Solution and Explanation
Specific conductivity (\( \sigma \)) is related to the drift velocity (\( v_d \)) by the equation:
\[
\sigma = nq v_d A,
\]
where:
- \( n \) is the number density of charge carriers,
- \( q \) is the charge of the carriers,
- \( A \) is the cross-sectional area of the conductor.
- \( n \) is the number density of charge carriers,
- \( q \) is the charge of the carriers,
- \( A \) is the cross-sectional area of the conductor.
