Problem

Assertion: When a potential difference is applied across a conductor, free electrons start travelling with a constant speed called drift speed. Reason: Due to the potential difference, an electric field is produced inside the conductor in which electrons experience a force. (A) Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion. (B) Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion. (C) Assertion is true but Reason is false. (D) Assertion is false but Reason is true.
