Question

When a potential difference is applied across the ends of a conductor, how is the drift velocity of the electrons related to the relaxation time?​

Answer 1

Answer:

hiii

your answer is here !

Explanation:

Let potential difference 'V' is applied across a conductor of length 'L', then E=VL

The relation between drift velocity and relaxation time ⇒vd=-eVmLτ

Where, vd is the drift velocity

e charge on an electron

V is the Voltage applied

L is the length of the conductor

m is mass of an electron

τ is the relaxation time

follow me !

Answer 2

Explanation:

When a potential difference is applied across the ends of a conductor, the free electrons in it move with an average velocity opposite to direction of electric field. which is called drift velocity of free electrons.
