Drift current
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In condensed matter physics and electrochemistry, drift current is the electric current, or movement of charge carriers, which is due to the applied electric field, often stated as the electromotive force over a given distance. It is distinguished from thermally-induced diffusion current, which results from the random Brownian motion of charge carriers independent of electrical stimulus.
