Let's see.
Current (I) = charge / time it takes to travel.
I=q/t
Length of the conductor = L = V*T (as velocity=L/T)
Say n=number of electrons/volume=10^29 electrons/m^3
e=charge of the electron
A=area of the bar (0.6 * 9 cm)
Then q=neAL= neAV*T
Then
I=q/t= neAV
Then V=I/neA.
Plug in the values.
Do some readings if you want to be an Engineer. Double check my equation, I wrote it in a haste.
