The drift velocity is superposed over what motion of the electrons?

ALevel rotating velocities
BLow relative velocities
CLarge random velocities
DLong radial velocities
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Large random velocities
1. Electrons are already moving fast before any field is applied. 2. The drift is a small bias added on top. 3. The drift velocity is superposed over the large random velocities of electrons. 4. So the answer is large random velocities. _Source: syllabus Physics, Ch 3 'Current Electricity'_
