alleryThe drift velocity of electrons points:
AIn no fixed way
BAgainst the field
CAlong the field
DAcross the field
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Against the field
1. Electrons carry a negative charge.
2. A negative charge is pushed opposite to the field.
3. So drift velocity is opposite to the electric field.
4. The answer is against the field.
