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