Drift velocity is defined as the average velocity with which free electron in a conductor gets drifted under the influence of an external electric field applied across the conductor.

By the formula for drift velocity-

V_d= (-eE)(tao)/m

where -e= charge

E=Electric field

Tao= average time(also known as relaxation time)

m= mass of electron

the negative sign shows the direction of drift velocity to the Electric field both are opposite to each other

Once the particle is moving in the drift direction, the magnetic field deflects it back against the external force, so that the average acceleration in the direction of the force is zero.

it opposes the relative motion of a magnet because it is the opposite to the direction of electric field and hence it generates magnetic field.

(type if possible) As you’ve seen, static pressures increase with decreasing velocity. Qualitatively describe how this principle explains how an airplane wing generates lift. How might such an analysis be useful in designing certain types of hydraulic structures where the long-term effects of static pressure differences may cause damage and/or failure of the structure? Such problems can be minimized by proper consideration of the flow properties or by overly strengthening the structures. Which approach is most desirable from the standpoint...
