Question:

Suppose that in a conductor, instead of electrons, we have some other charge carriers that are massive than electrons. What will happen to the drift velocity in that case?

Options:

The drift velocity will increase.

The drift velocity will decrease.

There will be no effect of drift velocity.

It will depend upon the pressure conditions of the conductor.

Correct Answer:

The drift velocity will decrease.

Explanation:

Drift velocity : vd = eEt/m

vd ∝ 1/m
