How do electrons flow in a conductor under an applied electric field?
Options
- AThey flow from the conduction band to the valence band.
- BThey flow from the valence band to the conduction band.
- CThey flow from the nucleus to the outermost shell.
- DThey flow from one conductor to another.
Correct answer
B. They flow from the valence band to the conduction band.
Step-by-step solution
Electrons flow in a conductor under an applied electric field from the valence band to the conduction band, where they can move freely.
