Plz EXPLAIN 2nd statement
The motion due to random collision. 
Which of the following options is correct regarding the given information? 
A) I and II are true 
B) I and III are true. 
C) II and III are true. 
D) I ,IIand III are true. 
Ans. 
I-Drift velocity decreases with increase in temperature. This statement is true. 
II-For large current. the drift velocity should be in the order of m/s. This statement is false because drift velocity is in the  of mm/s 
 
Ill-Motion of the free electrons in a conductor is due to the combination of the motion due to applied electric field and the  motion due to random collision. This statement is true.
  So. I and Ill are correct. 
The correct option is B. 
 
Plz EXPLAIN 2nd statement

Dear Student

Drift velocity of electrons in a conductor is of the order of 10−4 m/s or mm/s. It is very small compared to the thermal speed which is of the order of 105 m/s.
 As in statement it is given that order of drift velocity as m/s. So the statement is false.

yes,in statement 1 we can say that increasing the temperature of the conductor will also increasse the kinetic energy of the electrons.So increase in drift velocity decreases with increase in temperature.
