Vd = I/ nAq, where Vd is the drift velocity of electrons, I is the current flowing through the conductor, n is the density of the charge-carrier, q is the charge on carrier , A is the area of the cross-section of conductor

The drift velocity is the average velocity that a particle, such as an electron, attains due to an electric field. It can also be referred to as axial drift velocity since particles defined are assumed to be moving along a plane.
