E)is described by all of these statements.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The classical microscopic model of electric conduction does indeed predict Ohm's law, relates resistivity to mean speed and mean free path of electrons, but it also fails in accurately predicting resistivity values and distinguishing between insulators, semiconductors, and conductors, making all the statements correct.
