Why is the average velocity of an electron at time $t$ equal to zero in the absence of an external electric field?

  • A
    Due to random thermal motion.
  • B
    Due to the absence of collisions.
  • C
    Due to the presence of a magnetic field.
  • D
    Due to the high mass of the electron.

When current flows through a conductor,then the order of drift velocity of electrons will be

$A$. The drift velocity of electrons decreases with the increase in the temperature of a conductor.
$B$. The drift velocity is inversely proportional to the area of cross-section of a given conductor.
$C$. The drift velocity does not depend on the applied potential difference to the conductor.
