To solve the question regarding how electron mobility changes for a good conductor under two different scenarios, we will break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding Electron Mobility Electron mobility (μ) is defined as the drift velocity (v_d) of electrons per unit electric field (E). Mathematically, it can be expressed as: \[ \mu = \frac{v_d}{E} \] ### Step 2: Analyzing the Effect of Temperature Decrease (i) **When the temperature of the conductor is decreased at constant potential difference:** ...
