Question : 2 of 27
Marks: +1, -0
How does the mobility of electrons in a conductor change, if the potential difference applied across the conductor is doubled, keeping the length and temperature of the conductor constant?
Solution:  
Electron mobility is given by
u=vdE=vdVlu = \frac{v_d}{E} = \frac{v_d}{\frac{V}{l}}
Here EE = magnitude of electric field applied vd=v_d = drift velocity, V=V = p.d., l=l = length
So, u1Vu \propto \frac{1}{V}
Hence, for the constant length and temperature of the conductor, if the potential difference is doubled, the mobility will be halved.
