How does the electric field affect the resistance?
Exactly!!! but my professor seems to think it does as he added that question to the review sheet.

Before answering I'm deriving a formula for resistance
Let
v = (drift) velocity of electron
V = potential across material
n = no. of free electrons in a unit volume of material
A = cross sectional ares of material
e = charge on electron
E = Electric field intensity
m = mass of electron
L = length of material;
Current, I = nAev
v = Ee/m
E = V/L
I = Ane²E/m
R = V/I
R = mV/Ane²E
So you can see resistance is inversely proportional to Electric field intensity.

It doesn't.
