Write the mathematical relation between Mobility And Drift Velocity of charge carriers in a conductor.

Electron mobility is the drift velocity per unit strength of the electric field applied across the conductor. It is denoted by \(\mu\).

  • The SI unit of electron mobility is meter2volt-1second-1 (m2V-1s-1).
  • The mathematical relation between mobility and drift velocity of charge carriers is given by the formula:

\(\mu = {V_d \over E}\)

  • where, Vd refers to the drift velocity by free electrons on applying an electric field.
  • and E denotes an Electric field.
