Solution
Consider a conductor of length of $$L$$ and cross sectional area $$A$$.
When an electric field $$E$$ is applied across it, the electrons are drifted opposite to the applied field.
Volume of a conductor $$= LA =1$$ in this case.
Let $$n$$ be the number of free electrons per unit volume of conductor.
Total charge on all the electrons in the conductor $$= nLAe$$
where, $$e$$ is the charge of each electron.
$$\Rightarrow q = nLAe = neAL$$
But current, $$I=\dfrac { q }{ t } =\dfrac { neAL }{ t } =\dfrac { ne }{ t } \quad as\quad AL=1$$
