Why do electrons move in specified direction ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The electrons move in specified derction when the ends of the conductor are connected to the terminals of a battery.
A uniform electric field set up throughout the conductor. This fieldd makes the electrons move in a specified direction.
