This document discusses engineering physics and was authored by Mr. Gouri Kumar Sahu, a senior lecturer in physics. It covers topics including the interpretation of relaxation time, the temperature dependence of electrical resistivity, and drawbacks of the classical free electron theory. The key points are that relaxation time in metals is on the order of 10-14 seconds due to electron-phonon interaction, resistivity is proportional to temperature according to theory but experimentally proportional to T, and the classical theory fails to explain several phenomena like ferromagnetism and superconductivity.
