The electron drift arises due to the force experienced by electrons in the electric field Inside the conductor. But force should cause acceleration. Why then do the electrons acquire a steady average drift speed ?

A toy car with charge q moves on a frictionless horizontal plane surface under the influence of a uniform electric field vecE. Due to the force q vecE, its velocity increases from 0 to 6 m/s in one second duration. At that instant the direction of the field is reversed. The car continues to move for two more second under the influence of this filed. The average velocity and the average speed of the toy car between 0 to 3 seconds are respectively,

Five charges, q each are placed at the corners of a regular pentagon of side 'a' as in figure: (a) (i) What will be the electric field at O, the centre of the pentagon ? (ii) What will be the electric field at O if the charge from one of the corners (say A) is removed ? (iii) What will be the electric field at O if the charge q at A is replaced by -q ?
