When a potential difference is applied across the ends of a linear metallic conductor

A
The free electrons are accelerated continuously from the lower potential end to the higher potential end of the conductor
B
The free electrons are accelerated continuously from the higher potential end to the lower potential end of the conductor
✓
The free electrons acquire a constant drift velocity from the lower potential end to the higher potential end of the conductor
D
The free electrons are set in motion from their position of rest

✓

Answer

Correct option: C.

The free electrons acquire a constant drift velocity from the lower potential end to the higher potential end of the conductor
