AI Generated Solution

To find the thermal speed of free electrons in a conductor at temperature T Kelvin, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Concept of Thermal Speed**: The thermal speed (or thermal velocity) of free electrons in a conductor is related to the temperature of the conductor. It can be derived from the kinetic theory of gases, which applies to free electrons in a conductor. 2. **Formula for Thermal Speed**: ...
