The mobility of electrons in a semiconductor is defined as the ratio of their drift velocity to the applied electric field. If, for an n-type semiconductor, the density of electrons is \(10^{19}~\text{m}^{-3}\) and their mobility is \(1.6~\text{m}^2/\text{(V.s)},\) then the resistivity of the semiconductor (since it is an n-type semiconductor, the contribution of holes is ignored) is close to:
1. \(2~\Omega \text{m}\)
2. \(4~\Omega \text{m}\)
3. \(0.4~\Omega \text{m}\)
4. \(0.2~\Omega \text{m}\)
