MCQ
When no current is passed through a conductor:
  • A
    The free electrons do not move.
  • B
    The average speed of a free electron over a large period of time is zero.
  • C
    The average velocity of a free electron over a large period of time is zero.
  • D
    The average of the velocities of all the free electrons at an instant is zero.

Answer

  1. The average velocity of a free electron over a large period of time is zero.
  2. The average of the velocities of all the free electrons at an instant is zero.

Explanation:

No current is passed through a conductor means. That the average velocity of a free elecron over a large period of time is zero or the average of the velocity of all the free electrons at an instant is zero.
