SVEN [57.7K]3 years ago

Answer:

Correct Answer is option C

Explanation:

Option A cannot be correct because if both earth and clouds are negatively charged then they will repel each other and electron cannot flow through it because electron is negatively charged and it will get attracted towards positively charged terminal. Hence electric current will not flow between them.

Option B

cannot be correct because if both earth and clouds are positively charged then they will repel each other and electron cannot flow through it.Hence electric current will not flow between them.

Option C

It is correct option because flow of current means flow of electron. so electron which are negatively charged particle will move from cloud to positively charged ground.

Option D

If clouds are neutral then electron will not be there and hence current will not flow.

Explain concept of donor levels and accepter levels in extrinsic semiconductors and How can Fermi level be defined for conductor
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

DONORS: If the material for which it substitutes has more electrons than the original

ACCEPTORS: If the replacement material has fewer electrons than the original material

Fermi level: the point where the probability of finding the last electron is ½

Explanation:

When in a semiconductor material a small fraction of an element is replaced by another with different valences, an excess charge is created.

If the material for which it substitutes has more electrons than the original, there is an excess of electrons, these excess electrons are weakly bound in the material and their orbits are large, in an energy versus moment diagram their energy places them a little more below the conduction band, these materials are called DONORS.

If the replacement material has fewer electrons than the original material, one electron is missing to complete the bonds, so there is a movement of the other electrons, an easier way to analyze this movement of the (n-1) electrons is to suppose that The missing charge has a positive charge and to study its movement, this positive charge is called a hole, its binding energy is small so the orbit of the hole is large, in an energy diagram it is located a little above the band of valence, these are called ACCEPTORS

The Fermi level is defined as the point where the probability of finding the last electron is ½, when the temperature is changed the density of states of the bands changes, therefore the location point moves, but its [probability remains ½

Calculate the energy released by the electron-capture decay of 5727Co. Consider only the energy of the nuclei (ignore the energy
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

⁵⁷Co₂₇  + e⁻¹  =  ²⁷Fe₂₆

mass defect = 56.936296 + .00055 - 56.935399

= .001447 u

equivalent energy

= 931.5 x .001447 MeV

= 1.3479 MeV .

= 1.35 MeV

energy of gamma ray photons = .14  + .017

= .157 MeV .

Rest of the energy goes to neutrino .

energy going to neutrino .

= 1.35 - .157

= 1.193 MeV.
