NEET 2020 Physics Drift Velocity and Mobility MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Easy-Class 12

A charged particle having drift velocity of 7.5 × 10⁻⁴ m s⁻¹ in an electric field of 3 × 10⁻¹⁰ V m⁻¹, has a mobility in m² V⁻¹ s⁻¹ of :

A

2.5 × 10⁻⁶

B

2.25 × 10⁻¹⁵

C

2.25 × 10¹⁵

D

2.5 × 10⁶

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

Mobility μ = drift velocity / electric field = vd/E = (7.5 × 10⁻⁴)/(3 × 10⁻¹⁰) = 2.5 × 10⁶ m² V⁻¹ s⁻¹. The correct answer is D (2.5 × 10⁶). The original explanation correctly computed 2.5 × 10⁶ but then stated option A (2.5 × 10⁻⁶) was correct.
