Question 21

Multiple Choice

The resistivity of copper at 20ºC is 1.7 ×\times 10-8 Ω\Omega · m and the number of electrons per cubic centimeter is 8.47 ×\times 1022.If you take the average speed of the electrons to be equal to their root-mean-square speed (at T = 300 K) of 1.17 ×\times 105 m/s,it follows that their mean free path, λ\lambda ,must be
