Drift velocity is defined as the average velocity with which the free electrons get drifted towards the positive end of the conductor under the influence of an external electric field applied

Drift celocity is the average velocity that a particle such as electron attains in a material due to an electric field.
>The force experienced by the free electrons does not produce a net acceleration because electrons keep on colliding with the atoms of the conductor the overall effect on these collisions is to transfer the energy of accelerating electrons to the lattice with the result that electrons acquire an average velocity called Drift velocity in the direction of -E the Drift velocity is of the order 10 raise to power minus 3 metre per second
