Solution
Vd is drift velocity
 i is current
 n is the number of charge carriers per unit volume
 A is the cross sectional area
 q is the charge of the charge carriers
 = 1.602 × 10–19 C
 
 
 A = (.0015)² = 7.07e-6 m²
 Vd = 1200 / 1e29*1.6e-19*7.07e-6
 Vd = 1200 / 11e4
 Vd = 10e-3 m/s = 10mm/s
 
 to move 10 inch (.25m or 250mm)
 250 / 10mm/s = 25 sec
