When the conductor is subjected to an electric field E then each electron have force F=-eE And acquires an acceleration a =F/m=-eE/n----(1) m=mass of electrons e=charge E=electric field The average time between two consicutive collision is known as relaxation time of electron τ=τ1+τ2+------τn/n-------(2) We...

When the conductor is subjected to an electric field E then each electron have force

F=-eE

And acquires an acceleration a =F/m=-eE/n----(1)

m=mass of electrons

e=charge

E=electric field

The average time between two consicutive collision is known as relaxation  time of electron

τ=τ1+τ2+------τn/n-------(2)

We know that V=u+at equation of motion

The drift velocity Vd is Vd=v1+v2+-----vn/n

Vd=(u1+u2---+-un)+a(τ1+τ2+-----+τn)/n

Vd=0+a(τ1+τ2----+τn)/n

Average thermal velocity =0

Vd=at.  Vd=-(eE/m)τ----from(1)and(2)

This is the expreation for drift velocity.
