To calculate the energy of the conduction electron in the metallic block placed in an electric field, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between energy, force, and displacement. The energy (E) gained by a charge in an electric field can be expressed as: \[ E = F \cdot d \] where \( F \) is the force acting on the charge and \( d \) is the displacement (mean free path in this case). ### Step 2: Calculate the force on the conduction electron. ...
