if we applied an electric field to a metal,
why the direction of electrons is to be in the opposite of the direction of the electric field intensity ()?
And, any animation or image can describe that in a better way ?

It is simply due to the convention that segregates charges into positive and negative with the electron being negative. Look at the Lorenta force equation:Originally Posted by AbuYusuf

. The
term times the E field, in the absence of a magnetic
field causes the force to be directed opposite to the
field for a negative charge
.
Thanks !
That what i needed.
