Homework Statement
I'm just trying to understand what the variables in this equation represent. This is part of a study of electrical resistivity lab that I am doing. I don't have my Kittel book with me, and the lab manual for some reason doesn't define these variables.
Homework Equations
[tex] \rho = \frac{m}{ne^2} \frac{1}{\tau} [/tex]
The Attempt at a Solution
I could kind of guess at some of them - m = atomic mass, e = elementary charge, [tex]\tau[/tex] = relaxation time...but what about n? And I'm not sure about m, either.
Thanks.
