(A) : Free electrons always keep on moving in a conductor even then no magnetic force act on them in magnetic field unless a current is passed through it. (R) : The average velocity of free electron in a conductor is zero in the absence of the electric field in it.

When electric field inside a conductor is E, mobility of free electrons inside the conductor is mu . When the electric field is doubled mobility will be

The drift velocity of free electrons in a conductor is v, when a current i is flowing in it, Ifboth the radius and current are doubled, then the drift velocity will be :

Assertion: Though large number of free electron are present in the metal, yet there is no current in the absent of electric field. Reason: In the absence of electric field, electrons move randomly in all directions

Assertion : Current flows in a conductor only when there is an external electric field within the conductor. Reason: The drift velocity of the electrons is directly proportional to the electric field.

A :The drift velocity of electrons in a conductor is very small still current in a conductor is establised almost instantaneously on closing the switch. R: Electric field in the condutor sets up with speed of light.

(A) : The electron passing parallel to both magnetic and electric field is always deflected from its path (R) : If velocity of electrons is equal to ratio of magnetic and electric field in crossed fields applied then electron beam remains undeflected.

Explain the term 'drift velocity' of electrons in a conductor. Hence obtain the expression for the current through a conductor in terms of 'drift velocity'.

Derive the expression for drift velocity of free electron in terms of relaxation time and electric field applied across a conductor.
