Determine True or False. Electrons in a conductor have no motion in the absence of a potential difference across it.

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 under different conditions. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Electron Motion**: - In a conductor, electrons are not stationary. They are always in motion due to thermal energy, even when no external potential difference is applied. 2. **Random Motion of Electrons**: ...
