(Solved): In the Drude model when electrons flow in a conductor they experience a force ...
In the Drude model when electrons flow in a conductor they experience a force of the following form \[ F=m\left(\frac{d v}{d t}+\frac{v}{\tau}\right)=-e E . \] Clearly explain all of the terms in the equation and show that the mean drift velocity stabilises as \[ v=-\mu E \] where \( \mu \) is the electron mobility.
Expert Answer
The Drude model is a simplified model of electrical conductivity in metals that assumes that the conduction electrons in the metal are free to move th
