Boltzmann equation for carrier transport

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on confusion regarding the derivation of the Boltzmann equation for electron transport. Participants express frustration over reliance on external links rather than direct explanations or derivations. The conversation highlights the complexity of the topic, indicating that understanding the Boltzmann equation requires a solid grasp of statistical mechanics and introductory physics concepts. There is a call for clarity on which version of the Boltzmann equation applies specifically to electrons. Overall, the thread emphasizes the need for more accessible explanations in the context of carrier transport in physics.

I am little bit confused about derivation for Boltzmann equation for electron

look at this link http://relativity.livingreviews.org/Articles/lrr-2008-10/articlesu25.html

which is final boltazmann equation ?

Well, heavy stuff! If you can read that and understand it too, you're beyond the introductory level imho.

Did you notice the Physics Forum chiseled the rule to use the template in very hard stone ? Why didn't you do anything yourself and only give a link to a tekst that says "and the BE for electrons reads...". You don't believe that's true ? Why not ? What do you know about the "BE (originally derived for a gas of particles)" from introductory introductory physics ?

I don't have much knowledge about this field so that's why I posted here.
there are may equations
electron energy
electron velocity
coefficient function of electron energy
scattering of electron
electron enthalpy
I have read some topics but I did not understand which is final Boltzmann equation

That is what I am trying to do. What about your knowledge of statistical mechanics

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
