Hi there!■ DRIFT SPEED is average velocity that a particle, such as an electron, attains in a material due to an electric field.
■ It can also be said as axial drift velocity.
I HOPE THIS HELPS.

Drift speed means free electrons moving in a conductor make many collisions with other electrons and atoms.The average velocity of the free charges is called the drift velocity and is in the direction opposite to the electric field for electrons.
