Atlantic Ocean cooled or warmed when blowing over these currents influence adjacent land areas. The Gulf Stream and its northern extension towards Europe, the North Atlantic Drift is thought to have at least some influence on climate. For example, the Gulf Stream helps moderate winter temperatures along the coastline of southeastern North America, keeping it warmer in winter along the coast than inland areas. The Gulf Stream also keeps extreme temperatures from occurring on the Florida Peninsula. In the higher latitudes, the North Atlantic Drift, warms the atmosphere over the oceans, keeping the British Isles and north-western Europe mild and cloudy, and
Drift current through a square centimeter area perpendicular to the direction of flow. (i) Drift current density J, due to free electrons is given by: formula_1 (ii) Drift current density J, due to holes is given by: formula_2 Where: n - Number of free electrons per cubic centimeter. p - Number of holes per cubic centimeter formula_3 – Mobility of electrons in formula_4 formula_5 – Mobility of holes in formula_4 E – Applied Electric Field Intensity in V /cm q – Charge of an electron = 1.6 × 10 coulomb. Drift current In condensed matter physics and electrochemistry, drift current is the
