Does drift velocity of electron depend on diameter of conductor?

no


Why drift velocity increases on increasing temperature?

because the kinetic energy of electron increase with increase in temperature. this increase in kinetic energy increase drift velocity


What is velocity modulation in klystron?

As we know in klystron tube drift space is assumed to be free of any electric field. Therefore, the high velocity electron emerging in the later period are able to overtake the low velocity electrons leaving the buncher grids. As a result of these actions, the electrons gradually bunch together as they travel down the drift space. This mechanism of variation in electron velocity in the drift space is known as velocity modulation.


Is angular displacement and angular velocity the same?

no, velocity=displacement/time


What is the relationship between displacement and velocity?

velocity = displacement / time taken


Why the magnitude of drift velocity is so small?

magnitude of drift velocity is?


What do you mean by drift velocity and mobility of a free electron?

Drift velocity Vd = acceleration x relaxation time So Vd = (E e / m) * t Now Vd / E is defined as the drift velocity per unit electric field and known to be mobility of free electron Hence mobility = (e/m) x t Thus mobility will be different in different material as it depends on relaxation time. e/m is the specific charge of electron which is a constant value equals to 1.759 x 1011


What is efffect on drift velocity by increasing the potential difference?

Drift velocity increases.


How do you you find displacement from velocity?

Velocity is defined asv = dx/dtwhere:v is velocity;dx is displacement;and dt is elapsed time.Assuming velocity is constant, then displacement is calculated as:dx = v/dt.


Is displacement the change in velocity of an object?

Velocity is change in displacement over time.


If displacement is not changing as a function of time then what can we say about velocity?

If the displacement is not changing, the velocity is zero.


Calculated using displacement divided by time?

Velocity is displacement/time.
