Problem

Two conductors P and Q have electron mobilities of

5.0\times10^{-3}\,\text{m}^2\,\text{V}^{-1}\,\text{s}^{-1}

and

2.0\times10^{-3}\,\text{m}^2\,\text{V}^{-1}\,\text{s}^{-1}

respectively. Under the same applied electric field, which conductor will have the higher drift velocity of electrons? Give a brief reason for your answer.
