Answer

(a) $J = 6.25\times 10^5~A/m^2$ (b) $v = 6.5\times 10^{-5}~m/s$

Work Step by Step

(a) We can find the current density: $J = \frac{I}{A}$ $J = \frac{2.5~A}{(2.0\times 10^{-3}~m)(2.0\times 10^{-3}~m)}$ $J = 6.25\times 10^5~A/m^2$ (b) We can find the drift speed: $I = v~A~n~e$ $v = \frac{I}{A~n~e}$ $v = \frac{2.5~A}{(2.0\times 10^{-3}~m)(2.0\times 10^{-3}~m)(6.0\times 10^{28}~m^{-3})(1.6\times 10^{-19}~C)}$ $v = 6.5\times 10^{-5}~m/s$
