re than t and some less than t In other words the time t in 5 will be less than t for some and more than t for others as we go N The average value of t then is t the values of i 1 2 as relaxation time Thus averaging Eq 3 16 over the ons at any given time t gives us for the average velocity v V average v average eE m e E m T eE 3 17 This last result is surprising It tells us that the electrons move with an average velocity which is independent of time although electrons are accelerated This is the phenomenon of drift and the m t average T
