R[Delhi I, II, III 2014]
Show Answer
Solution:
Ans. Magnitude of the drift velocity of charge carrier per unit electric field is called mobility.
Alternatively,
$$ \mu=\frac{\left|v_{d}\right|}{E} \text { or } \frac{e \tau}{m} $$
Its SI unit is $\mathrm{m}^{2} /$ (volt second) or $\mathrm{ms}^{-1} \mathrm{~N}^{-1} \mathrm{C} \quad 1 / 2$
