When a potential difference is applied across the ends of a linear metallic conductor
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Current flows from high potential to low potential.
∴ The free electrons acquire a constant drift velocity from the lower potential end to the higher potential end of the conductor. (direction of electrons is opposite to that of current)
