Mean Free Path Formula Elements

Variables
Mean Free Path Electron
Mean Free Path electron is defined as an average distance travelled by a moving electrons between successive impacts, which modifies its direction or energy or other particle properties.
Symbol: Le
Measurement: LengthUnit: μm
Note: Value should be between 0 to 1E+23.
Electron Flux Density
Electron Flux Density refers to the quantity of electrons per unit volume in a given material or region. It represents the measure of how many electrons are present in a specific space or volume.
Symbol: Φn
Measurement: Magnetic Flux DensityUnit: Wb/m²
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Difference in Electron Concentration
Difference in Electron Concentration is defined as the difference between the electron density of two electron.
Symbol: ΔN
Measurement: Carrier ConcentrationUnit: 1/m³
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Time
Time can be defined as the ongoing and continuous sequence of events that occur in succession, from the past through the present to the future.
Symbol: t
Measurement: TimeUnit: s
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
