Q.

Mobility of electrons in a semiconductor is defined as the ratio of their drift velocity to the applied electric field. If, for an n-type semiconductor, the density of electrons is 1019m3 and their mobility is 1.6m2V.s then the resistivity of the semiconductor (since it is an n-type semiconductor contribution of holes is ignored) is close

As we know, current density, j=σE=nevd    σ=nevdE=neμ

1σ=ρ=1neeμe=Resistivity =11019×1.6×1019×19×1.6 or ρ=0.4Ωm
