When the potential difference applied across a solid conductor is increased, the rate of flow of electrons

A

remains same

B

decreases

C

increase

D

decreases sharply

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

When potential difference applied acrose a conductor increases, the current flowing through the conductor increases. Therefore, drift velocity of the electrons increases as
