Which one of the following statements correctly describes the mobility of an electron? The mobility of an electron in a semiconductor is a measure of: how quickly it will recombine with a hole. the energy it emits when it recombines with a hole. the time between collisions with crystal defects. the diffusion of electrons across a piece of material how fast it will drift through a device per unit applied electric field.
