Answer: 24 pA

Explanation:

As pure silicon is a semiconductor, the resistivity value is strongly dependent of temperature, as the main responsible for conductivity, the number of charge carriers (both electrons and holes) does.

Based on these considerations, we found that at room temperature, pure silicon resistivity can be approximated as 2.1. 10⁵  Ω  cm.

The resistance R of a given resistor, is expressed by the following formula:

R = ρ L / A

Replacing by the values for resistivity, L and A, we have

R = 2.1. 10⁵ Ω  cm. (10⁴ μm/cm). 50 μm/ 0.5 μm2

R = 2.1. 10¹¹ Ω

Assuming that we can apply Ohm´s Law, the current that would pass through this resistor for an applied voltage of 5 V, is as follows:

I = V/R = 5 V / 2.1.10¹¹ Ω = 2.38. 10⁻¹¹ A= 24 pA

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

public static int average(int j, int k) {

return (int)(( (long)(i) + (long)(j) ) /2 );

}

Explanation:

The above code returns the average of two integer variables

Line 1 of the code declares a method along with 2 variables

Method declared: average of integer data type

Variables: j and k of type integer, respectively

Line 2 calculates the average of the two variables and returns the value of the average.

The first of two integers to average is j

The second of two integers to average is k

The last parameter ensures average using (j+k)/2

Answer:

Trojan horse

Explanation:

A trojan horse attack is a type of malware that misleads users, as it appears unsuspicious at first, but actually presents a threat to the user. A common example is that of an email that contains a malicious attachment. Another common example is that of a fake advertisement. The name comes from the Greek story of the Trojan horse that led to the fall of the city of Troy.
