To calculate the drift velocities of holes and electrons in germanium at 300 K under an electric field of 100 V/cm, we will use the formula for drift velocity, which is given by: \[ v_d = \mu \cdot E \] where: - \( v_d \) is the drift velocity, - \( \mu \) is the carrier mobility, - \( E \) is the electric field. ...
