(3) Magnetic materials – magnetic property
Conductors and Semiconductors
Conductors are based upon the property of
conduction, the phenomenon of drift of free
electrons in the material with an average drift
velocity proportional to the applied electric field.

In semiconductors, conduction occurs not only by
electrons but also by holes – vacancies created by
detachment of electrons due to breaking of
covalent bonds with other atoms.
The conduction current density is given by
