Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) on applying electric field

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Mechanism: Conductors contain free charge carriers (usually electrons). When an electric field \((E)\) is applied, it exerts a force \((F=q E)\) on these charges. Result: This force causes the free charges to drift in a specific direction. The collective flow of these charges…
