alleryThe average time between electron collisions is called:
ARelaxation time
BHalf life period
CTime constant e
DPeriod of wave
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Relaxation time
1. Electrons keep colliding as they drift along.
2. The average gap between collisions has a name.
3. It is called the relaxation time.
4. So the answer is relaxation time.
