प्रश्न
Do free electrons travel to region of higher potential or lower potential?
Advertisements
उत्तर
The force on a charge particle in electric field F = qE. The free electrons (negative charge) experience electrostatic force in a direction opposite to the direction of electric field. The direction of electric field is always from higher potential to lower. Hence direction of travel of electrons is from lower potential to region of higher potential.
