Drift Velocity in Fiber Optic Transmission Formulas

Drift Velocity is the average velocity attained by charged particles, such as electrons or holes, in a particular direction under the influence of an electric field. And is denoted by V_d. Drift Velocity is usually measured using the Meter per Second for Speed. Note that the value of Drift Velocity is always positive.

FAQ

What is the Drift Velocity?

Drift Velocity is the average velocity attained by charged particles, such as electrons or holes, in a particular direction under the influence of an electric field. Drift Velocity is usually measured using the Meter per Second for Speed. Note that the value of Drift Velocity is always positive.

Can the Drift Velocity be negative?

No, the Drift Velocity, measured in Speed cannot be negative.

What unit is used to measure Drift Velocity?

Drift Velocity is usually measured using the Meter per Second[m/s] for Speed. Meter per Minute[m/s], Meter per Hour[m/s], Kilometer per Hour[m/s] are the few other units in which Drift Velocity can be measured.
