Question

does drift speed and thermal speed of electrons inside a metal conductor remain same.​

Answer 1

$\huge\sf\underline\blue{Answer}$

Statement 1: The drift speed of electrons in metals is small (in the order of a few mm/s) and the charge of an electron is also very small (1. 6×10−19C), yet we can obtain a large current in a metal.

Statement 2: At room temperature, the thermal speed of electrons is very high (about 107 times the drift speed)

Answer 2

Statement 1: The drift speed of electrons in metals is small (in the order of a few mm/s) and the charge of an electron isalso very small (1. 6×10−19C), yet we canobtain a large current in a metal. Statement 2: At room temperature, thethermal speed of electrons is very high (about 107 times the drift speed)
