i think this article is only a stub, so i put the tag on the test.

As it relates to guiding center drift theory

I think more discussion as it relates to Guiding center drift theory, since essentially the whole theory is essentially about finding "drift velocities". For now, I'll add Guiding center to "see also" IlyaV (talk) 02:39, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Many information is absent.

Equation Error:

∂Q = (nAv)q is surely not correct. The right-hand side is equal to the current, not the change in Q. Either the LHS should read "I" or the RHS should include "dt" in the numerator. -- Anonymous

More changes are desirable

I just made some cosmetic changes now, but more changes are necessary. Probably rho for charge density is confusing in a context where rho is commonly used for specific resistivity. The article is also incomplete. I would have expected a relation with the relaxation time tau here. /Pieter Kuiper 11:44, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Electron velocity

I just redirected this term to here, as they are essentially the same aren't they? The text of the article is below.

Electron velocity is a very important value in computing. Electron is the subatomic particle responsible for electromagnetic field, that's the way to transmit information in electronic hardware. In a metallic atom the electrons on his orbit are relatively free to move from an atom to one other; this movement is cause of current, which is an electron's flow.

According to relativistic model electron in an hydrogen atom would be moving at 2.42 x 10⁸ cm/sec.

For now, the most widely-used material with high electronic velocity is silicon, but faster ones are possible:

in the absence of eletricfield an eletrone have only thermel velocity.when a uniform eletric field is applied to the conductor,then the eletron get accelerated in the direction of the field and the eletroe move in the direction opposite to the field. this velocity of eletron due to the presence field is called DRIFT VELOCITY
