When an electric field is applied across a semiconductor,

When a potential difference is applied across a conductor, the free electrons in the conductor are set into motion. Two velocities are associated with the moving electron-the drift velocity and average velocity. The fact is that the two are :

In Milikan's oil drop experiment, a charged drop falls with terminal velocity V. If an electric field E is applied in vertically upward direction then it starts moving in upward direction with terminal velocity 2V. If magnitude of electric field is decreased to (E)/(2) , then terminal velocity will become

Only when an electric field is set up in a conductor, the electrons in it start moving.

Consider the situation when an electric field E is present in a conductor. Acceleration a of the free electrons of the conductor due to this field is

When a potential difference is applied across the ends of a conductor, how is the drift velocity of the electrons related to the relaxation time?

Assertion : When a potential difference is applied across a conductor, free electrons stf travelling with a constant speed called drift speed. Reason : Due to potential difference an electric field is produced inside the conductor, which electrons experience a force.
