The mean free path of electrons in a metal is 4 10-8 m. The electric field which can give on an average 2 eV energy to an electron in the metal will be in units V/m
- 5 10-11
- 8 10-11
- 5 107
- 8 107
Answer
(3) 5 107
Solution
Energy gained by the electron over one mean free path :
eE = 2 eV
E = 2 V = 24 10-8
E = 5 107 V/m
Answer: (3)
