The Drift Velocity is the flow velocity that a particle, such as an electron, attains in a material due to an electric field.  The following equation is used to calculate the drift velocity: μ=InQA, where:

  • μ = drift velocity
  • I = flow of current
  • n= number of electrons
  • Q = charge of electrons
  • A = cross section of area of wire
