CURRENT E LECTRICITY

DESCRIPTION

Drift speed refers to the average velocity at which free electrons move towards the positive terminal under an applied electric field. This phenomenon can be mathematically expressed as Vd = -eEt/m, where 'e' is the charge of an electron, 'E' is the electric field strength, and 't' denotes relaxation time. The current 'I' flowing through a conductor can be derived from I = neAVd, where 'n' is the number of free electrons, 'A' is the cross-sectional area, and 'l' is the length of the conductor. This relationship illustrates how drift speed influences electrical currents.

  1. CURRENT ELECTRICITY

  2. Drift speed • It is the velocity with which the free electrons get drifted towards the positive terminal under the effect of applied electric field. Vd= v1 + v2 + ……+vn n = at , where a=-eE m in terms of relaxation time t :- vd = =-eEt m
