Finger exercise for calculation of electron speeds within materials from data readily available in the public sphere
| Material | Electron mobility, μe (m2/V s) | Applied electric field, E (V) | Electron drift velocity, Vd (m/s) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Silicon | 0.14 | 0 | (0.14 × 0) = 0 |
| Silicon | 0.14 | 50 | (0.14 × 50) = 7 |
| Germanium | 0.38 | 1000 | (0.38 × 1000) = 380 |
