Let us consider a straight conductor of cross sectional area A, through which flows a current I. Let the free electron density in the conductor be n. If a potential difference V is applied across a length L of the conductor, an electric field will be set up in the conductor given by : E = V/L

Under the influence of electric field E, the electrons will move against the direction of the electric field with a drift ...
