Material Dec14 Final

1. The document contains 5 multiple choice questions about electrical conductivity and resistivity. It also includes 3 short answer questions about band theory of solids, deriving Ohm's law, and properties of metals. 2. It asks the student to calculate the average drift velocity, mobility, and relaxation time of electrons in a silver wire given the resistivity, applied electric field, and conduction electron density. 3. It examines the differences between conductors, insulators, and semiconductors based on band theory and why semiconductors act as insulators at 0K temperature.
