Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine whether the statement "Electrons in a conductor have no motion in the absence of a potential difference across it" is true or false, we can analyze the behavior of electrons in a conductor. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Electron Motion in Conductors**: - In a conductor, there are free electrons that can move. These electrons are not fixed in place and can move under certain conditions. 2. **Thermal Motion of Electrons**: ...
