Question

When a current is established in a wire the free electrons drift in the direction opposite to the current does the number of free electrons in the wire continuously decrease?

Answer 1

The maximum number of electrons free in the cable is thus always constant.

Explanation:

• No, the amount of electrons remains constant inside the cable.
• The electrons which drift and travel to the battery's positive terminal are removed by the battery in the loop or circuit, under the impact of the existing electric field.
• The maximum number of electrons free in the cable is thus always constant.

Electric field:- The electrical field surrounds the electrical charge and exerts, attracts or repels certain charges in the field.
