Physics Question on Electric Field
When electric field is applied to the electrons in a conductor it starts
A
When electric field is applied to the electrons in a conductor it starts
B
Drifting from higher potential to lower potential
C
Drifting from lower potential to higher potential
D
Moving with constant velocity
Answer
Drifting from lower potential to higher potential
Explanation
Solution
The correct option is (C): Drifting from lower potential to higher potential
the electron starts drifting from the lower potential to higher potential.
drift velocity = vd=−meEτ
