A cylindrical copper conductor AB length `L` areaa of cross-section a has large number of free electrons which at mean temperature move at random within the body of the conductor like the molecules of a gas. The average thermal motion at room temperature is of the enter of `10^(5)ms^(-1)` where a potential difference `V` is applied free electronic in the condictior experience , the free electrons in the conductor experience force and are accelerated towards the positive emf of the condutor on their gained kinetic energy After each collision the free electronic are angle acceleration due of the electric field , towards the positive end the conductor and next collision with the ions/atoms of the electrons The average speed of the free electrons with which they drift toward the positive and of the conductor under the effect of applied electric field is called drift of the electrons When the potential difference is applied the two ends of the conductors , an electric field existsA. outside the conductorB. inside the conductorC. both outside and inside the conductorD. no where
