Answer:

I = 4.189 mA    V = 0.338 V

Explanation:

In order to do this, we need to apply the following expression:

I = Is[exp^(qV/kT) - 1]   (1)

However, as the junction of the diode is illuminated, the above expression changes to:

I = Iopt + Is[exp^(qV/kT) - 1]   (2)

Now, as the shunt resistance becomes infinite while the current becomes zero, we can say that the leakage current is small, and so:

I ≅ Iopt

Therefore:

I ≅ I₀Aλq / hc  (3)

Where:

I₀A = Area of diode (radiation)

λ: wavelength

q: electron charge (1.6x10⁻¹⁹ C)

h: Planck constant (6.62x10⁻³⁴ m² kg/s)

c: speed of light (3x10⁸ m/s)

Replacing all these values, we can get the current:

I = (8x10⁻³) * (0.65x10⁻⁶) * (1.6x10⁻¹⁹) / (6.62x10⁻³⁴) * (3x10⁸)

I = 4.189x10⁻³ A or 4.189 mA

Now that we have the current, we just need to replace this value into the expression (2) and solve for the voltage:

I = Is[exp^(qV/kT) - 1]

k: boltzman constant (1.38x10⁻²³ J/K)

4.189x10⁻³ = 9x10⁻⁹ [exp(1.6x10⁻¹⁹ V / 1.38x10⁻²³ * 300) - 1]

4.189x10⁻³ / 9x10⁻⁹ = [exp(38.65V) - 1]

465,444.44 + 1  = exp(38.65V)

ln(465,445.44) = 38.65V

13.0508 = 38.65V

V = 0.338 V

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

X₃₁ = 0.58 m  and  X₃₂ = -1.38 m

Explanation:

For this exercise we use Newton's second law where the force is the Coulomb force

        F₁₃ - F₂₃ = 0

        F₁₃ = F₂₃

Since all charges are of the same sign, forces are repulsive

        F₁₃ = k q₁ q₃ / r₁₃²

        F₂₃ = k q₂ q₃ / r₂₃²

Let's find the distances

         r₁₃ = x₃- 0

         r₂₃ = 2 –x₃

We substitute

      k q q / x₃² = k 4q q / (2-x₃)²

      q² (2 - x₃)² = 4 q² x₃²

        4- 4x₃ + x₃² = 4 x₃²

        5x₃² + 4 x₃ - 4 = 0

We solve the quadratic equation

        x₃ = [-4 ±√(16 - 4 5 (-4)) ] / 2  5

        x₃ = [-4 ± 9.80] 10

       X₃₁ = 0.58 m

       X₃₂ = -1.38 m

For this two distance it is given that the two forces are equal

A force of 15 newtons is used to push a box along the floor a distance of 3 meters. How much work was done?
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 45 J</h3>

Explanation:

The work done by an object can be found by using the formula

<h3>workdone = force × distance</h3>

From the question

distance = 3 meters

force = 15 newtons

We have

workdone = 15 × 3

We have the final answer as

<h3>45 J</h3>

Hope this helps you
