👉 The electron fluid is a concept that describes the collective behavior of electrons in a material, particularly in metals and other conductive substances. It represents the sea-like motion of electrons that freely move throughout the lattice structure of a solid, driven by an external electric field or thermal energy. This fluid-like behavior allows electrons to respond collectively to changes in the material's environment, facilitating electrical conductivity. The electron fluid model simplifies the complex interactions of individual electrons by focusing on their macroscopic, collective properties, which is crucial for understanding and predicting the electrical and thermal properties of materials.
