| We can use the [[184_notes:current|Drude model]] for electrons in the wire - the electrons are accelerated by the electric field, until they run into a positive nucleus, which reduces the speed back to zero. This is where our definition of drift speed comes from, so it is worth including it in our solution for reference. | We can use the [[184_notes:current|Drude model]] for electrons in the wire - the electrons are accelerated by the electric field, until they run into a positive nucleus, which reduces the speed back to zero.
