Question

Which of the following statements is true? Which of the following statements is true? Drift velocity is a property of the material. Conventional current flow describes electrons moving opposite the internal electric field of a conductor. The time between collisions when discussing electron current is the same for each collision because the atoms are equally spaced. Resistivity is determined by the geometry of the device.

Answer 1

The true statement is -

Conventional current flow describes that the electrons moving in the opposite direction in the internal electric field of a conductor.

Explanation:

• Current is a flow of electrical charges with respect to time from relatively positive to relatively negative direction, which is also known as Conventional current or Franklin current.

• There are positive charges and negative charges. Electrons have the tendency to be attracted by the positive attractors. The electron particles flows towards the positive direction within the wires.

• So, electrons flow from negative to positive. The direction of the flow of conventional current is relatively positive end to a relatively negative end.
