The mean free path of conduction electrons in copper is about 4.0xx10^(-8) m. The electric field which can give on the average 2.4 eV energy to conduction electron in copper block is axx10^(7) V m^(-1). What is the integer value of a? |

Answer» SOLUTION :Here, mean free PATH, `x=400xx10^(-8)m`. Energy acquired by electron before it collides with a copper ioN/Atom, `W=2.4 eV =2.4xx1.6xx10^(-19)J`. If E is the electric FIELD applied, then force on electron due to electric field, `F=eE`. Workdone by electric field on electron, before it collides with a copper ioN/Atom is W= force xx mean free path`=eEx` |
