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).

What are some movies that feature drifting cars?
Although unfamiliar with the term drifting cars, research has provided a number of movies that feature drifting cars. There are a number of movies titled Drift 1, Drift 2, Drift 3, Drift 4, Drift 5, Drift 6 and Drift 7. There are also Drift Special - Beauty Battle, and Drift GTR.

Why the magnitude of drift velocity is so small?
magnitude of drift velocity is?
What is efffect on drift velocity by increasing the potential difference?
Drift velocity increases.
Is drift velocity the velocity of an electron or its displacement?
It is type of velocity of electron.
WHAT is the order of drift velocity?
10-5
What is the value of Drift velocity?
Ms^-1
What is the equation for mean drift velocity?
I=Anev
Why drift velocity increases on increasing temperature?
because the kinetic energy of electron increase with increase in temperature. this increase in kinetic energy increase drift velocity

Drift velocity in two-phase flow?
it is the relative velocity of two phase that is gas and liquid.
What are Drift velocity and momentum relaxation time?
Drift velocity refers to a particle's average velocity being influenced by its electric field. Momentum relaxation time is the time required for the inertial momentum of a particle to become negligible.
What is velocity modulation in klystron?
As we know in klystron tube drift space is assumed to be free of any electric field. Therefore, the high velocity electron emerging in the later period are able to overtake the low velocity electrons leaving the buncher grids. As a result of these actions, the electrons gradually bunch together as they travel down the drift space. This mechanism of variation in electron velocity in the drift space is known as velocity modulation.
