  2. Drift velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drift_velocity

    Copper has one free electron per atom, so n is equal to 8.5 × 10 28 electrons per cubic metre. Assume a current I = 1 ampere, and a wire of 2 mm diameter (radius = 0.001 m). This wire has a cross sectional area A of π × (0.001 m) 2 = 3.14 × 10 −6 m 2 = 3.14 mm 2. The elementary charge of an electron is e = −1.6 × 10 −19 C.

    ion speed of sound, the speed of the longitudinal waves resulting from the mass of the ions and the pressure of the electrons: = () , where is the adiabatic index Alfvén velocity , the speed of the waves resulting from the mass of the ions and the restoring force of the magnetic field:

  4. Electron mobility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_mobility

    The electron mobility is defined by the equation: =. where: E is the magnitude of the electric field applied to a material, v d is the magnitude of the electron drift velocity (in other words, the electron drift speed) caused by the electric field, and; μ e is the electron mobility.

  5. Speed of electricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_electricity

    In general, an electron will propagate randomly in a conductor at the Fermi velocity. [5] Free electrons in a conductor follow a random path. Without the presence of an electric field, the electrons have no net velocity. When a DC voltage is applied, the electron drift velocity will increase in speed proportionally to the strength of the ...

  6. Electrical mobility - Wikipedia

    For example, the mobility of the sodium ion (Na +) in water at 25 °C is 5.19 × 10 −8 m 2 /(V·s). [1] This means that a sodium ion in an electric field of 1 V/m would have an average drift velocity of 5.19 × 10 −8 m/s. Such values can be obtained from measurements of ionic conductivity in solution.

    When charged particles move in electric and magnetic fields the following two laws apply: Lorentz force law: = (+),; Newton's second law of motion: = =; where F is the force applied to the ion, m is the mass of the particle, a is the acceleration, Q is the electric charge, E is the electric field, and v × B is the cross product of the ion's velocity and the magnetic flux density.

  9. Electron affinity (data page) - Wikipedia

    First, as the energy that is released by adding an electron to an isolated gaseous atom. The second (reverse) definition is that electron affinity is the energy required to remove an electron from a singly charged gaseous negative ion. The latter can be regarded as the ionization energy of the –1 ion or the zeroth ionization energy. [1]
