Show Answer

Solution:

Ans. vd=eVmlτ

[CBSE Marking Scheme 2014]

Detailed Answer :

Since drift velocity, vd=eEmτ

But,

Now, from equation (i)and (ii),

Drift velocity, d=eVmlτ

[AT Q. 12. How does one explain increase in resistivity of a metal with increase in temperature?

U [O.D. Comptt. I, II, III 2014]

Ans. With increase in temperature, the relaxation time (average time between successive collisions) decreases and hence resistivity increases.

Alternatively,

Resistivity, ρ=(mne2τ) increases as τ decreases with increase in temperature.
