Which of the following physical quantities has the unit m² V⁻¹ s⁻¹?

Asked in GSEB Board March 2022 · Drift velocity, mobility and current density

Answer: (1) mobility

Step-by-step solution

Idea: mobility is the drift speed gained per unit electric field, μ=(v_d)/E.

Unit of v_d: m s⁻¹. Unit of E: V m⁻¹.

Unit of μ: (m s⁻¹)/(V m⁻¹)=m² V⁻¹ s⁻¹.

So the quantity is mobility.

Why the other options are wrong
