- Electrons scatter randomly at uncorrelated times. The average time between scattering is $\tau$. Therefore, the probability of scattering in a time interval $dt$ is $dt / \tau$
- After each scattering event, the electron's momentum randomizes with a zero average $⟨\mathbf{p}⟩=0$
- Electrons are charged particles with chrage $-e$, so that the Lorentz force $\mathbf{F}_L=-e\left(\mathbf{E}+\mathbf{v}×\mathbf{B}\right)$ acts on the electrons in between the scattering events
