| Mar 3, 2019 at 19:09 | comment | added | joshuaronis | There is no "fixed path length" that an electron travels through between collisions. In the Drude model, there's a fixed amount of TIME in between an electron's collisions with atoms. And if the acceleration of the electrons gets doubled, but the time between collisions doesn't change, that doubles the average velocity of the electrons as they move between one atom the other, thus doubling the drift velocity and the current overall. | |
