$A$ silicon block at $300\,K$ has a length of $10\,cm$ and a cross-sectional area of $1 \times 10^{-4}\,m^2$. If a $2\,V$ battery is connected across its ends parallel to the length,find the current flowing through it. The electron mobility is $0.14\,m^2V^{-1}s^{-1}$ and the electron number density is $1.5 \times 10^{16}\,m^{-3}$.
