Question: ( a ) A metal has an atomic density = 6 x 1 0 2 2 / cm 3 , a resistivity = 2 .

(a) A metal has an atomic density =6x1022/cm3, a resistivity =2.89106cm and an electron mobility =12 cm2/Vs. How many free electrons/atom are there for this metal? (b) What is the value of the mean free time in silver if the resistivity =1.51106cm?(Given: Silver has 1 free electron/atom; atomic weight=107.87; mass density=10.49 g/cm3. N.B. convert all units to SI.)
