The drift velocity concept can be understood by observing the random movement of electrons around the conductor. These electrons keep on traveling in the conductor in a random way through random velocities. Sometimes, a conductor may be subjected to an electric field & consequently some type of electrical energy is used on the randomly moving electrons except in the field direction. This field pushes the electrons to control in the high potential direction while maintaining their chances … [Read more...]

A physical medium that carries electrical energy from one place to another place is known as a conductor. The minimum conductivity and tensile strength are important factors for transmission and distribution systems. In the earlier days, the copper conductors have used to transmit the energy. But now, these are replaced with stranded hard-drawn 1350 aluminum wires to increase the tensile strength, conductivity, and efficiency. The aluminum conductors are lightweight, economical in design, and … [Read more...]
