Why does the name semiconductors makes sense

Physics
1 answer:
GaryK [48]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

The name semiconductors makes perfect sense because not all substances conducts electricity readily. Some substances have to fulfill certain conditions for electric current to pass through them. They are called semi-conductors.

  • A conductor is a substance that allows the passage of electricity through it. They are usually metallic solids.
  • A non-conductor usually called insulators do not allow electric currents to go through them.
  • The presence of free mobile electrons in an body allows for electric conductance.
  • Silicon is a popular semi-conductor.
  • To accommodate substances whose conductance lies between those of conductors and non-conductors, the term semi-conductor is best to use.

Assume you have an ice cube and also a small rock that is the same size and shape as the ice cube. Predict what would happen if
Step2247 [10]

Answer: The ice cube would float on top of the water and the rock would sink to the bottom.

Explanation: The ice cube has a smaller density than the rock which allows the ice cube to float but makes the rock sink to the bottom of the glass of water.

Calculate the total resistance in a parallel circuit made up of resistances of 2, 3, and 4.
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

<em><u>0</u></em><em><u>.</u></em><em><u>9</u></em><em><u>1</u></em>

Explanation:

as equivalence resistance can be found out using the

1/Req = 1/r1 +1/r2 +1/r3......

now, 1/req= 1/2+1/3+1/4

=6/12+4/12+3/12

=13/12

i.e, req =12/13 =0.91

Answer:

No temperature change occurs from heat transfer if ice melts and becomes liquid water (i.e., during a ... to change 1 kg of liquid water at the normal boiling point (100ºC at atmospheric pressure) to steam (water vapor).

The melting point of lead is 327.3o C. Assume the final temperature of the system is T. Then the amount of energy released by the lead as it solidifies is. ΔQ = mleadLlead = 0.09 kg*(2.45*104 J/kg) = 2205 J

A current of 6.93 A 6.93 A in a long, straight wire produces a magnetic field of 4.15 μT 4.15 μT at a certain distance from the
natka813 [3]

Answer:

0.334 m

Explanation:

The magnetic field due to current in a straight thin wire, B, is given by

B = \dfrac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi R}

where \mu_0 is the permeability of free spave with value 4\pi\times10^{-7} and R is the distance from the wire.

R = \dfrac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi B}

Substituting the values from the question,

R = \dfrac{4\pi\times10^{-7}\times 6.93}{2\pi\times 4.15\times 10^{-6}}

R = \dfrac{2\times10^{-1}\times6.93}{4.15} = 0.334 \text{ m}
