Question

Define mobility of an electron

Answer 1

Answer:

Share. Answer. Electron mobility is the measure of how fast an electron can move through a metal or semiconductor under the influence of external electric field.

Answer 2

In solid-state physics, the electron mobility characterises how quickly an electron can move through a metal or semiconductor, when pulled by an electric field. There is an analogous quantity for holes, called hole mobility. The term carrier mobility refers in general to both electron and hole mobility.
