Question : 2
Total: 27
How does the mobility of electrons in a conductor change, if the potential difference applied across the conductor is doubled, keeping the length and temperature of the conductor constant?
Solution:
Electron mobility is given by
u =
=
HereE = magnitude of electric field applied v d = drift velocity, V = p.d., l = length
So,u ∝
Hence, for the constant length and temperature of the conductor, if the potential difference is doubled, the mobility will be halved.
Here
So,
Hence, for the constant length and temperature of the conductor, if the potential difference is doubled, the mobility will be halved.
