357040 When no electric field is applied across a conductor, then consider the following statements.
I.
The electrons will be moving due to the thermal motion during which they collide with the fixed ions.
II.
An electron colliding with an ion emerges with the same speed as before the collision. However the direction of its velocity after the collision is completely random.
III.
At a given instant, the number of electrons travelling in any direction will be equal to the number of electrons travellling in the opposite direction. So, there will be no net electric current.

1 I and II
2 II and III
