Why current is not formed in solid conductors in absence of electric field ?

Answer»

Solution :`rArr` In solid conductors electric CURRENT can be explained as follows.
`rArr` When METALLIC solid are formed, valence electron get separated from their parent atoms and become free electron positive ions are grounded in definite three dimensional geometric arran gement.
`rArr`In ABSENCE of external electric field these positive ion, depending on their temperature oscillate about their mean position. Electron move randomly in space between positive ions.
`rArr` During their moHon electron collide with positive ion and due to these collision their DIRECTION keeps on CHANGING. `
` At a given time there is no unidirectional flow of electron in particular direction in given cross- section. Hence, current is not formed.
