Why does current across a potential difference remain constant although the speed of electron across the potential difference differ? So according to the equation I=neaV, the current should increase since the velocity of electron increase across the potential difference.

Solution

The speed of individual electron across the potential difference may differ but their net velocity will remain the same. Hence, current across a potential difference remain constant
