When an electrical field is applied to a conductor, the free electrons in a conductor do not move through a conductor at a constant speed and direction; instead, the motion is almost random due to collisions with atoms and other free electrons. Although the electrons move in a nearly random fashion, when an electrical field is applied, the overall velocity of the electrons can be defined in terms of a drift velocity.
