Drift speed in a conductor that carries current?

The Drift Speed is less than the average speed of the electron between two collisions. Electrons move relatively slowly along a wire but very quickly between collisions. The electric field (EMF) that causes the motion moves at the speed of light.


What is current how it is measured?

An electric current (symbol: I) is a very slow drift of charge carriers (electrons, in metallic conductors), and is measured in amperes (symbol: A). An ampere is defined in terms of the 'magnetic effect' of an electric current, that is the force of attraction or repulsion between two, parallel, conductors due to the interaction of their magnetic fields. An instrument used to measure electric current is called an 'ammeter'.


What must occur before the current flows through a circuit?

As current is the rate of flow of electric chargesAs I=Q/tso,there must be free electrons for the flow of electric current in a circuit.Then when voltage is applied at the terminals of circuit the free electrons acquire an average velocity called as drift velocity in the opposite direction to that of electric field (-E).Now the free electrons modify there random motion and a steady current begin to flow in a circuit.


What is drift voltage?

A: Drift voltage is an an wanted voltage that wander off from what is expected. I sources for wandering could be thermal or a component drifting in value.

Is it possible to do drift racing with electric cars?

It is possible to drift and drift race with electric cars. Electric cars are generally lighter than combustion engines which makes them more susceptible to drifting and sliding. In the following video an electric car demonstrates it's ability to drift. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqBXQ1lq0PE)

What relation between electric current and drift velocity?

The drift velocity of free electrons in a conductor is directly proportional to the magnitude of the electric current flowing through the conductor. This means that as the current increases, the drift velocity of the electrons also increases. The relationship is described by the equation I = nAvq, where I is the current, n is the number density of charge carriers, A is the cross-sectional area of the conductor, v is the drift velocity, and q is the charge of the charge carrier.


How can you turn the ets on and off?

In some cases you can disconnect the plug on the ebrake switch. I was able to access it by pulling back on the ebrake side cover.


Does drift current depends on carrier concentration?

no,drift current depends upon electric field where as carrier concentration lead to diffusion current


WHAT is the order of drift velocity?

The order of drift velocity in conductors is typically on the order of micrometers per second. Drift velocity is the average velocity of charged particles as they move in response to an electric field within a conductor. It is influenced by factors such as the material's resistivity and the magnitude of the electric field applied.


What is the value of Drift velocity?

Drift velocity is the average velocity of charged particles as they move in response to an electric field. Its value depends on factors such as the magnitude of the electric field, the charge of the particles, and the medium through which they are moving.


In an electrode-electrolyte circuit what do the terms drift current and diffusion current mean?

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).

Define drift velocity?

Drift velocity is the average velocity with which charged particles, such as electrons, move in a conductor in the presence of an electric field. It is a very slow velocity due to frequent collisions with atoms in the material. Drift velocity is responsible for the flow of electric current in a circuit.


What is drift velocity?

In a current-carrying circuit, a charged particle is accelerated by an electric field. It also undergoes frequent collisions with the stationary ions of the wire material. These two effects result in the very slow net motion (drift) of moving charged particles in the direction of the electric force. The drift velocity describes this motion. Average drift speed for electrons is on the order of 10-4 m/s (Young and Freedman, University Physics).
