I question the claim that electron drift through a conductor carrying alternating current is a transverse wave.
2.
With this trigger time, one can then find electron drift times, which enables three dimensional reconstruction of an event.
3.
This takes time to complete as the electrons drift down the tube, leading to their alternate name " drift tubes ".
4.
Having multiple planes with different wire orientations permits two-dimensional event reconstruction, while the third dimension is found from electron drift times.
5.
At 60 Hz alternating current, this means that within half a cycle the electrons drift less than 0.2 & mu; m.
6.
The diffusion process continues until electron diffusion and electron drift balance each other, creating a junction at equilibrium similar to a p-n junction.
7.
Much less practically relevant unless you're overclocking, is that there's electron drift that can happen deep within processors, especially those that operate over temperature.

The article Drift velocity gives a mathematical explanation of the slow rate with which electrons drift through a conductor . talk ) 19 : 55, 10 November 2008 ( UTC)
9.
Following an original ionization event, due to such as ionizing radiation, the positive ion drifts towards the cathode, while the free electron drifts towards the anode of the device.
10.
Usually, the electron drift velocity in a material is directly proportional to the electric field, which means that the electron mobility is a constant ( independent of electric field ).
