A current of $$10 \mathrm{~A}$$ is passing through a metallic wire of cross-sectional area $$4 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~m}^2$$. If the density of the aluminium conductor is $$2.7 \mathrm{~gm} / \mathrm{cc}$$ considering aluminium gives 1 electron per atom for conduction, then find the drift velocity of the electrons if molecular weight of aluminium is $$27 \mathrm{~gm}$$.
