Problem

Copper has conductivity 5.8×107 S m−15.8\times10^{7}\,\text{S}\,\text{m}^{-1} and free-electron number density 8.5×1028 m−38.5\times10^{28}\,\text{m}^{-3}. Take e=1.6×10−19 Ce=1.6\times10^{-19}\,\text{C}. The electron mobility in copper is closest to (a) 4.3×10−2 m2 V−1 s−14.3\times10^{-2}\,\text{m}^2\,\text{V}^{-1}\,\text{s}^{-1} (b) 2.1×10−3 m2 V−1 s−12.1\times10^{-3}\,\text{m}^2\,\text{V}^{-1}\,\text{s}^{-1} (c) 4.3×10−3 m2 V−1 s−14.3\times10^{-3}\,\text{m}^2\,\text{V}^{-1}\,\text{s}^{-1} (d) 4.3×10−6 m2 V−1 s−14.3\times10^{-6}\,\text{m}^2\,\text{V}^{-1}\,\text{s}^{-1}
