Answer:

a) 222/cm^3

b) The Ec with respect to Ef and Ev = -0.107ev

c) Resistance, R = 467 ohms

Explanation:

(a) From the velocity and the applied electric field, we can calculate the mobility of holes:

υdp = µpε, µp = υdp/ε = 2×10^5/1000

= 200cm2/V.s

From a), we find Nd is equal to 4.5×1017/cm3

. Hence,

n = Nd = 4.5×10^17/cm3

, and p = ni^2/n

= ni^2/Nd

= 10^20 / 4.5×10^17 = 222/cm3

.

Clearly, the minority carrier is hole.

(b) The Fermi level with respect to Ec is

Ef = Ec - kTln(Nd/Nc) = Ec - 0.107 eV.

(c) R = ρL/A. Using Equation, we first calculate the resistivity of the sample:

σ = q(µn n + µp p) ≈ qµn n = 1.6×10^-19 × 400 × 4.5×10^17 = 28.8/Ω-cm, and

ρ= σ

-1 = 0.035 Ω-cm.

Therefore, R = (0.035) × 20µm / (10µm× 1.5µm) = 467 Ω.

Let A^=6i^+4j^_2k^ and B= 2i^_2j^+3k^. find the sum and difference of A and B​
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Explanation:

Let \textbf{A} = 6\hat{\textbf{i}} + 4\hat{\textbf{j}} - 2\hat{\textbf{k}} and \textbf{B} = 2\hat{\textbf{i}} - 2\hat{\textbf{j}} + 3\hat{\textbf{k}}

The sum of the two vectors is

\textbf{A + B} = (6 + 2)\hat{\textbf{i}} + (4 - 2)\hat{\textbf{j}} + (-2 + 3)\hat{\textbf{k}}

= 8\hat{\textbf{i}} + 2\hat{\textbf{j}} + \hat{\textbf{k}}

The difference between the two vectors can be written as

\textbf{A - B} = (6 - 2)\hat{\textbf{i}} + (4 - (-2))\hat{\textbf{j}} + (-2 - 3)\hat{\textbf{k}}

= 4\hat{\textbf{i}} + 6\hat{\textbf{j}} - 5\hat{\textbf{k}}

In a circuit with one 12.0 resistor, a current of 0.500 A is flowing. This circuit is powered by a single
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

6 V

Explanation:

In a circuit, the relationship between voltage, current and resistance is given by Ohm's law:

V=RI

where

V is the voltage

R is the resistance

I is the current

In this circuit, we have

R=12.0\Omega is the resistance

I = 0.500 A

so we can find the voltage of the battery by using Ohm's law:

V=(12.0 \Omega)(0.500 A)=6 V

Which sample of oxygen gas contains molecules with the fastest average speed?
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

A. 1.73 x 10^5 J

Explanation:

The internal energy of a gas is related to the average speed of the molecules of the gas. In fact:

- The internal energy, U, is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas, T, according to

U=\frac{3}{2}nRT

- The temperature of the gas, T, is proportional to the square of the average speed of the molecules, v, according to

\frac{3}{2}kT=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where both terms represent the average kinetic energy of the molecules.

- Therefore, we can conclude that the higher the internal energy, the faster the average speed of the molecules: among the choices given, the sample with highest internal energy is sample A.
