NEET Physics Ohm's Law MCQ Question
Consider a cylindrical conductor of radius R with an electric field applied along its length. Which of the following statements correctly describes the direction of electron flow and the electric field in the conductor?
Electrons flow opposite to the electric field direction.
Electrons flow in the same direction as the electric field.
Electric field and electron flow are perpendicular.
Electrons are stationary while the electric field moves.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The electric field in the conductor is directed from positive to negative, causing electrons to move towards the positive charge, opposite to the field direction as per the NCERT context.
