Give relation between drift velocity and electric field.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We know, `I= n e A v_(d)`
or `I//A = n e v_(d)` [`:' I//A=J`]
or `J= n e v_(d)" "[:' sigma = ("current density(J)")/("electric field(E)")]`
or `sigma E= n e v_(d) or E = (n ev_(d))/(sigma) = n e rho v_(d)" "[:' 1/sigma = rho = "resistivity"]`
