I’m torn on this, honestly.

I’m not disputing the veracity of that detail, but do we need to specify that it’s under an electric field? Is that necessary, or all that helpful? Is this ever going to be a point of discrimination on the MCAT?

I sort of, and perhaps I’m being cantankerous, think this is a bit of formalism for formalism’s sake and that this is one of those things that’s easy to nod at and approve but ultimately is just more words that aren’t going to appreciably contribute to improved comprehension or yield.

Secondly, this comes fairly verbatim from Kaplan which does not mention ‘under an electric field.’ I see the impulse here, and understand the motivation in submitting the suggestion but if we were going to add anything it might be ‘movement of electrons in metallic bonds’ or similar.
