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 $10^{19} \ m^{-3}$ and their mobility is $1.6 \ m^2/(V \cdot s)$,then the resistivity of the semiconductor (since it is an $n$-type semiconductor,the contribution of holes is ignored) is close to ................ $\Omega \cdot m$.
