What is drift velocity........ans fast​

Answers (1)

The particles like electrons move in random directions all the time. When electrons are subjected to an electric, field they do move randomly but they slowly drift in one direction, i.e., in the direction of the electric field applied. The net velocity at which these electrons drift is known as drift velocity.

Or it can also be defined as the average velocity attained by charged particles, (eg. electrons) in a material due to an electric field.
