CBSE Class 11-science Answered

hello mam When a potential difference of 1.5 V is applied across a wire of length 0.2 m and area of  cross-section 0.30 mm2 , a current of 2.4 A flows through the wire. If the number density of  free electrons in the wire is 8.4 X 1028 m-3 , calculate the average relaxation time. please solve this sum

Electric field set up across the conductor,
E = V/t = 1.5/0.2 = 7.5 V/m 
Current density in the wire, 
J = I/ A  = 2.4/(0.3 x 10-6)
= 8 x 106 A/m2
 
Current density, 
J = ne2τE/m 
Thus, 
 
Average relaxation time,
τ = mJ/ ne2
= 9.1 x 10-31 x 8 x 106/ (8.4 x 1028) x (1.6 x 10-19)2 x 7.5 
= 4.51 x 10-16 s
