To analyze the effect of increasing temperature on the drift velocity of electrons in a conductor when a constant potential difference is applied, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand Drift Velocity Drift velocity (\(v_d\)) is the average velocity that a charge carrier, such as an electron, attains due to an electric field. It can be expressed as: \[ v_d = \frac{I}{nqA} \] where: ...
