The drift velocity of conduction electrons is directed how, relative to the field?
AOpposite to it
BAlong with it
CAcross from it
DAround about it
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Opposite to it
1. Conduction electrons carry negative charge.
2. A negative charge is pushed against the field.
3. The direction of drift velocity of conduction electrons is opposite to the electric field direction.
4. So the answer is opposite to it.
