In a metallic conductor, under the effect of applied electric field, the free electrons of the conductor
Options:
Answer:
D
Solution:
The electrons inside the conductor move with an average velocity due to the applied field in a direction opposite to the field, this velocity is known as drift velocity. Electric field are applied from high to low potential region of the conductor. Also, electrons are negatively charged.
Electron drifts from lower potential to higher potential on curved path.
