Show that the energy of a magnetic dipole m in a magnetic field B is U--m B

Physics

Juli2301 [7.4K]3 years ago

Answer:

showm

Explanation:

Consider a dipole having magnetic moment 'm' is placed in magnetic field \vec{B} then the torque exerted by the field on the dipole is

\tau = m\times B

\tau=mBsin\alpha

Now to rotate the dipole in the field to its final position the work required to be done is

U=\int \tau d\alpha

U=\int mBsin\alpha d\alpha

U= -mBcos\alpha

U=-\vec{m\times \vec{B}}

Minimum energy mB is for the case when m is anti parallel to B.

Minimum energy -mB is for the case when m is parallel to B.

A 3" diameter germanium wafer that is 0.020" thick at 300K has 1.015 x 10^17 As atoms added to it. What is the resistivity of th
Ber [7]

Answer:

0.546 ohm / μm

Explanation:

Given that :

N = 1.015 * 10^17

Electron mobility, u = 3900

Hole mobility, h = 1900

Ng = 4.42 x10^22

q = 1.6*10^-19

Resistivity = 1/qNu

Resistivsity (R) = 1/(1.6*10^-19 * 1.015 * 10^17 * 3900)

= 0.01578880889 ohm /cm

Resistivity of germanium :

R = 1 / 2q * sqrt(Ng) * sqrt(u*h)

R = 1 / 2 * 1.6*10^-19 * sqrt(4.42 x10^22) * sqrt(3900*1900)

R = 1 /0.0001831

R = 5461.4964 ohm /cm

5461.4964 / 10000

0.546 ohm / μm
