Define current density and relaxation time. Derive an expression for resistivity of a conductor in terms of number density of charge carriers in the conductor and relaxation time.
Solution:
Current density: Current density is the current per unit area of cross-section of a conductor.
Relaxation time: Relaxation time is the time interval between two successive collisions of electrons in a conductor.
Expression for resistivity:
