page 3 Drift velocity(vd) :every metal has a larger no of free electrons. they move randomly inside the metal about velocities 10^5m/s. however these velocities are destributed randomly in all directions. there is no net direction of motion .so their average velocity is zero. vectors(u1, u2, u3........ .. un) are the randomly velocities of n free electrons then average velocities are vectors(u1+u2+u3+... . +un) /n=o hence their is no net flow of electron in any direction & no current flow. when a potential difference is applied across a conductor an electric field is set up at every point inside the conductor andeach electron experiences a force in the opposite direction of electric field and move with an acceleration. as the electrons accelerates they collide with a very small velocity(10^-5) oppositeto electric field is called drift velocity hence drift velocity is the average velocity of the free electrons with which th...
