Question:

Drift velocity of electrons is directly proportional to the:

Options:

Temperature

Voltage applied

Length of the conductor

Area of cross section of conductor

Correct Answer:

Voltage applied

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → Voltage applied

The drift velocity is,

$V_d=μ\frac{V}{L}$

[μ = Mobility]

[L = Length of conductor]

$⇒V_d∝V$

∴ Drift velocity ↑, Voltage applied ↑
