25
Q

What is the number density?

A

This is the number of electrons per unit of volume

26
Q

What is mean drift velocity?

A

The average velocity of particles moving through a wire

27
Q

What is current density?

A

The rate of flow of charge per unit area

28
Q

What is current?

A

The rate of flow of charge

29
Q

What is drift mobility?

A

> The average drift velocity acquired per unit of electric field
A good measure of the quality of a wire

30
Q

What is conductivity?

A

> This is the inverse of resistivity

31
Q

What is the diffusion coefficient?

A

The diffusion coefficient is a measure of how well particles (here electrons) diffuse in a medium, and is the equivalent of conductivity

32
Q

What is the scatter time?

A

The mean time between collisions

33
Q

What is particle flux?

A

Number of particles / (Area × Unit of time)

34
Q

What is the mean free path?

A

This the average distance travelled by particles between collision

35
Q

3 Equations for current

A 
I = dQ/dt
I = Q/t
Ix = enAVdx
36
Q

What are 4 equations for current density?

A 
J = I/A
J = enVdx
J = enμdE
J = σE
37
Q

What is the equation to calculate mean drift velocity?

A

Vdx = ( eE / me)τ

38
Q

How is the equation for mean drift velocity calculated?

A 
F = qE = eE
F = MA
eE = me×A => A = eE/me
Vdx = A×∆t
Vdx = (eE/me)τ
39
Q

What is the equation for resistance in terms of resistivity?

A

R = ρl/A

40
Q

What are 3 equations for conductivity?

A 
σ = 1/ρ
σ = ne^2τ/me
σ = neμd
41
Q

What are 2 equations for drift mobility?

A 
μd = Vdx/E
μd = eτ/me
