Charge carriers

Drift current

In condensed matter physics and electrochemistry, drift current is the electric current, or movement of charge carriers, which is due to the applied electric field, often stated as the electromotive force over a given distance. When an electric field is applied across a semiconductor material, a current is produced due to the flow of charge carriers. The drift velocity is the average velocity of the charge carriers in the drift current. The drift velocity, and resulting current, is characterized by the mobility; for details, see electron mobility (for solids) or electrical mobility (for a more general discussion). See drift–diffusion equation for the way that the drift current, diffusion current, and carrier generation and recombination are combined into a single equation. (Wikipedia).

Drift velocity -the speed of electrons in a wire: from fizzics.org

The drift velocity of charge when an electric current flows in a wire is surprisingly low. Electric current consists of moving charges, usually electrons, which flow through a metal wire or maybe a semiconductor. The video explains the ideas and shows a sample calculation. Notes on electri

Current and Drift Velocity

We explore the concept of electric current and conventional current, which is the direction that positive charges flow, and the reality that electrons move in the opposite direction in most circuits. We derive the equation for average current in terms of the number of charge carriers passi

AWESOME Eddy currents!!!

Eddy currents are currents which circulate in conductors like swirling eddies in a stream. They are induced by changing magnetic fields and flow in closed loops, perpendicular to the plane of the magnetic field. They can be created when a conductor is moving through a magnetic field, or wh
