Between successive collisions, how do electron paths look when an electric field is present?
AStraight lines
BClosed circles
CIn general curved
DSharp right angles
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. In general curved
The field accelerates the electron between collisions, so its path bends and is in general curved, unlike the straight paths without a field.
