In this work, a model for computing current density, drift velocity and electron mobilityof metals based on free electron theoryis presented. The poissonratio was considered while computing the electron density parameter for strain metals used. Thecomputed and experimental value of current density, drift velocity and electron mobility of metals are in good agreementwhich shows that free electron theory is useful in the study.The result obtained revealed that current density and drift velocity of metals increases as electric field increases.This successfully proves that free electron theory is a useful theory that can be used in the study of some properties of metals.The current density of metals reduces as deformation rises while the drift velocity and electron mobility increases as deformation increases.This is due to the nature of temperature gradient, scattering and electron distribution in the metals.
