AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the transition from formula 1.6 to 1.7, highlighting the absence of rho (ρ) and the disappearance of E in the earlier formula. Participants emphasize the need to understand the relationship between conductivity (σ) and resistivity (ρ) in the context of solid-state physics and semiconductors. A hint is provided that relates these variables through the equation σ = (ne²τ)/m and ρ = m/(n e²τ). The conversation suggests that a review of electromagnetism (EM) is necessary to grasp these concepts fully. Understanding these definitions is crucial for progressing in the topic.

there is no rho in 1.6
and E disappeared

??

I have not the slightest idea what it is all about, but perhaps σρ=1.
 
its about solid state physics and semiconductors
and there is no rho in 1.6
 
What work have you done so far to find how σ and ρ are related?

You obviously have gaps in the subject and should review EM before continuing on. It's such a simple relationship.
 
\sigma =\frac{ne^2\tau }{m}E =\rho J

\tau=\frac{m}{\rho n e^2}

here is a hint.

What is definition of σ?

What is definition of ρ?


can you find this out please.
 
thanks :)
