✒When a potential difference is applied across a conductor, free electrons gain velocity in the direction opposite to the electric field between successive collisions (and lose velocity when traveling in the direction of the field), thus acquiring a velocity component in that direction in addition to its random thermal .
✒The drift velocity is defined as the average velocity with which free electrons in a conductor get drifted under the influence of an external electric field applied across the conductor. It is a vector quantity
