The electron density in copper is 8.49 × 10^28 electrons/m3 . The electron charge is e = ?1.60 × 10^?19 C. When a 1.00 A current is present in a copper wire with a 0.40 cm2 cross-section, the electron drift velocity, in m/s, with direction defined relative to the current density, is

a. ?1.84 × 10^?6.
b. +1.84 × 10^?6.
c. ?1.84.
d. ?5.43 × 10^5.
e. +5.43 × 10^5.
