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:**
