Define the term drift velocity

Answer»

SOLUTION :The average velocity acquired by the free electrons of a conductor in a DIRECTION opposite to the externally applied electric FIELD is called drift velocity.
Drift Velocity. `v_d=(-eEtau)/m`
Where,
e = charge on electron
E = EXTERNAL electric field
`tau`= relaxation TIME
m = mass of electron
