Explain how electron mobility changes for a good conductor, when (i) the temperature of the conductor is decrased at constant potential difference and (ii) applied potential difference is doubled at constant temperature.

Answer» Electron mobility in a conductor is given by
`mu = v_(d)/E = ((eE)/(m)tau)/(E) = (e tau)/m`
(i) When temperature of the conductor decreases, the relaxation time `tau` of the electrons in the conductor increases, so mobility `mu` increase. (ii) Mobility `mu` is independent of applied potential difference.
