Questions for Teacher If there’s no potential difference in a wire, what happens to the electrons?? They will drift randomly. What happens to the randomly drifting electrons in a wire when a potential difference is applied?? They start to drift in the same direction. What is meant by electron drift velocity?? The average displacement of the electrons along the a wire per second. Why do electrons move slowly through a metal?? Because the electrons are colliding with the lattice of atoms.
