Hello Student,
Please find the answer to your question
True. A copper wire consists of billions and billions of free electrons. When the wire is at rest, the average velocity of electrons. When the wire is at rest, the average velocity of each electrons is zero. But when the wire is in motion.
NOTE : A charged particle moving in a magnetic field. experiences a force given by \underset{F}{\rightarrow}= q (\underset{v}{\rightarrow}x \underset{B}{\rightarrow}) Here also each electron experiences and therefore, electrons will move towards one end creating an emf between the two ends of a straight copper wire.
Thanks
