I've been sitting at my desk trying to prove this and nothing, already tried googling.. Any help guys? I want to know how to derive it from basic principles.
Thanks
How I came by it: I'm a high school student and was doing my exam then get asked about drift velocity and it's not even in the syllabus and hence in not in any of my books >_<
All I could find on it is===>
This formula is used to calculate the current carried by a conductor in which we know the charge carrier density and the drift velocity of the charge carriers
I: current
n: # of charge carriers per unit volume
q: charge
v: drift velocity
A: area of conductor in which charges are moving
