no,drift current depends upon electric field where as carrier concentration lead to diffusion current
In diodes there are two types of current namely diffusion and drift current. Former one is due to concentration gradient of majority carriers (hole in p side n electron in n-side). Due to this difference of concentration of carriers majority carrier start to diffuse in other side. The amount of diffusion is just depends on concentration. Contrast to this, drift current which is very small in compare to diffusion current depends on the applied voltage across the diode. Since total current is mainly due to diffusion in forward biased hence it is not too much effected by battery's electric field. I dint know that batteries have electric field. INTERESTING.
the flowing in the conductor is related as given by the relation... I=Vena v=drift velocity of electron e=charge on electron n=concentration of electron in the current carrying conductor . a=area
when ever the external voltage is given the movement of charge carriers produce a current i.e drift current
The electrons drift predominantly in one direction.
Crystal diode for a p-type semiconductor and n-type semiconductor formation of the pn junction, in its interface on both sides of a space-charge layer, and has a self-built electric field. When there is no applied voltage, as pn junction on both sides of carrier concentration caused by the proliferation of poor self-built electric current and drift arising from the current equivalent and the balance of power in the state. When the outside world a positive bias voltage, electric and outside the field of mutual self-suppression role of the Consumers carrier increase from the current spread of the forward current. When the outside world a reverse bias voltage, external electric field and to further strengthen self-built electric field, in a certain form of reverse voltage and reverse bias voltage value unrelated to reverse saturated current I0. When the reverse voltage applied to a certain high level, pn junction in the space charge of the electric field strength to achieve the critical values of the double-carrier process, a large amount of electronic hole right, had a great numerical breakdown of the reverse current, Breakdown phenomenon known as diodes.

A drift current is electric charges being moved in the presence of an electric field, and a diffusion current is electric charges being moved by a chemical diffusion gradient (where no electric field exists, but where there is a concentration gradient of chemical species driving the current).
it is a current which has zero drift and it is ugly
Current is with water and drift is moving sediments in the current
The difference between drift current and diffusion current is that drift current depends on the electric field applied: if there's no electric field, there's no drift current. Diffusion current occurs even though there isn't an electric field applied to the semiconductor. It does not have E as one of its parameters. The constants it does depend on are Dp and Dn, and +q and -q, for holes and electrons respectively. The first constants are called the diffusion coefficients, a proportionality factor. We don't worry too much about these because they are constants. We do worry about the gradient of the concentration of p and/or n, though. But, since we are talking about a one dimensional situation when we are solving for current densities, we only worry about the gradient (or derivative) with respect to the x-plane. The other difference between drift current and diffusion current, is that the direction of the diffusion current depends on the change in the carrier concentrations, not the concentrations themselves. In the equation, the signs are reversed as we are used to seeing them. We usually assign a +q to holes and -q to electrons. In the case of diffusion current, they are reversed to be opposite of the derivative of the concentrations. This occurs because the carriers are diffusing from areas of high concentrations to areas of low concentrations. For example, if the derivative of pwith respect to x is positive, then the concentration of holes is growing as you move towards the +x direction. Diffusion current will be the opposite of that, the holes will be diffusing in the -x direction to where there's a lower concentration of holes. If the derivative is negative, the opposite will occur. The concentration of holes is decreasing as you go from the -x to +x direction. Therefore, holes will diffuse to the +x direction where there's a lower concentration of holes. This is why the negative sign is needed in the equation for the hole diffusion current. The same goes for electrons, but in this case, the signs cancel for a positive derivative because the electrons, carrying -q, diffuse to the -x direction where there's less electrons. The sign remains if the derivative is negative, because electrons will be diffusing to the +xdirection carrying a -q charge. For these reasons it's not included in the equation for the electron diffusion current. source: http://www.ece.utep.edu/courses/ee3329/ee3329/Studyguide/ToC/Fundamentals/CAction/diffusion.html The difference between drift current and diffusion current is that drift current depends on the electric field applied: if there's no electric field, there's no drift current.
