Answer:

a.

i. electron concentration, n₀ = 2 × 10¹⁵ cm⁻³, hole concentration, p₀ = 2 × 10¹¹ cm⁻³

ii. electron concentration, n₀ = 1.33 × 10¹¹ cm⁻³, hole concentration, p₀ = 3 × 10¹⁵ cm⁻³

b.  

i. electron concentration, n₀ = 2 × 10¹⁵ cm⁻³, hole concentration, p₀ = 2.205 × 10⁻³ cm⁻³

ii. electron concentration, n₀ = 1.47 × 10⁻³ cm⁻³, hole concentration, p₀ = 3 × 10¹⁵ cm⁻³

c. It means that the minority carrier contribute little to the conductivity of the semi-conductor.

Explanation:

a. For Germanium, intrinsic concentration n₁ = 2 × 10¹³ cm⁻³.

i. For the electron concentration, n₀ wit N₁ = donor concentration = 2 × 10¹⁵ cm⁻³ and N₂ = acceptor concentration = 0,

n₀ = 1/2[(N₁ - N₂) +√[(N₁ - N₂)² + 4n₁²] ]      since N₁ > N₂

n₀ = 1/2[(2 × 10¹⁵ cm⁻³ - 0) +√[(2 × 10¹⁵ cm⁻³ - 0)² + 4(2 × 10¹³ cm⁻³)²] ]

n₀ = 1/2[(2 × 10¹⁵ cm⁻³ +√[(4 × 10³⁰ cm⁻⁶ + 16 × 10²⁶ cm⁻⁶] ]

n₀ = 1/2[(2 × 10¹⁵ cm⁻³ +√[(4.0016 × 10³⁰ cm⁻⁶] ]

n₀ = 1/2[(2 × 10¹⁵ cm⁻³ + 2.0004 × 10¹⁵ cm⁻³ ]

n₀ = 1/2[4.0004 × 10¹⁵ cm⁻³ ]

n₀ = 2.0002 × 10¹⁵ cm⁻³ ≅ 2 × 10¹⁵ cm⁻³

The hole concentration p₀ is gotten from

n₀p₀ = n₁²

p₀ = n₁²/n₀ = (2 × 10¹³ cm⁻³)²/2 × 10¹⁵ cm⁻³ = 4 × 10²⁶ cm⁻⁶/2 × 10¹⁵ cm⁻³

p₀ = 2 × 10¹¹ cm⁻³

ii.  For the hole concentration, p₀ wit N₁ = donor concentration = 7 × 10¹⁵ cm⁻³ and N₂ =  acceptor concentration = 10¹⁶ cm⁻³,

p₀ = 1/2[(N₂ - N₁) +√[(N₂ - N₁)² + 4n₁²] ]      since N₂ > N₁

p₀ = 1/2[(10¹⁶ cm⁻³ - 7 × 10¹⁵ cm⁻³) +√[(10¹⁶ cm⁻³ - 7 × 10¹⁵ cm⁻³)² + 4(2 × 10¹³ cm⁻³)²] ]

p₀ = 1/2[(3 × 10¹⁵ cm⁻³ +√[(9 × 10³⁰ cm⁻⁶ + 16 × 10²⁶ cm⁻⁶] ]

p₀ = 1/2[(3 × 10¹⁵ cm⁻³ +√[(9.0016 × 10³⁰ cm⁻⁶] ]

p₀ = 1/2[(3 × 10¹⁵ cm⁻³ + 3.0003 × 10¹⁵ cm⁻³ ]

p₀ = 1/2[6.0003 × 10¹⁵ cm⁻³ ]

p₀ = 3.00015 × 10¹⁵ cm⁻³ ≅ 3 × 10¹⁵ cm⁻³

Te electron concentration n₀ is gotten from

n₀p₀ = n₁²

n₀ = n₁²/p₀ = (2 × 10¹³ cm⁻³)²/3 × 10¹⁵ cm⁻³ = 4 × 10²⁶ cm⁻⁶/3 × 10¹⁵ cm⁻³

n₀ = 1.33 × 10¹¹ cm⁻³

b. For GaAs, intrinsic concentration n₁ = 2 × 10⁶ cm⁻³.

i. For the electron concentration, n₀ wit N₁ = donor concentration = 2 × 10¹⁵ cm⁻³ and N₂ =  acceptor concentration = 0,

n₀ = 1/2[(N₁ - N₂) +√[(N₁ - N₂)² + 4n₁²] ]      since N₁ > N₂   and N₁ - N₂ = 2 × 10¹⁵ cm⁻³ >> n₁ = 2 × 10⁶ cm⁻³

n₀ = (N₁ - N₂) = 2 × 10¹⁵ cm⁻³ - 0 = 2 × 10¹⁵ cm⁻³

The hole concentration p₀ is gotten from

n₀p₀ = n₁²

p₀ = n₁²/n₀ = (2.1 × 10⁶ cm⁻³)²/2 × 10¹⁵ cm⁻³ = 4.41 × 10¹² cm⁻⁶/2 × 10¹⁵ cm⁻³

p₀ = 2.205 × 10⁻³ cm⁻³

ii. For the hole concentration, p₀ wit N₁ = donor concentration = 7 × 10¹⁵ cm⁻³ and N₂ =  acceptor concentration = 10¹⁶ cm⁻³,

p₀ = 1/2[(N₂ - N₁) +√[(N₂ - N₁)² + 4n₁²] ]      since N₂ > N₁ and N₂ - N₁ = 10¹⁶ cm⁻³ - 7 × 10¹⁵ cm⁻³ = 3 × 10¹⁵ cm⁻³ >> n₁ = 2.1 × 10⁶ cm⁻³

p₀ ≅ N₂ - N₁ = 3 × 10¹⁵ cm⁻³

The electron concentration n₀ is gotten from

n₀p₀ = n₁²

n₀ = n₁²/p₀ = (2.1 × 10⁶ cm⁻³)²/3 × 10¹⁵ cm⁻³ = 4.41 × 10¹² cm⁻⁶/3 × 10¹⁵ cm⁻³

n₀ = 1.47 × 10⁻³ cm⁻³

c. It means that the minority carrier contribute little to the conductivity of the semi-conductor.

Given frequency, what is the formula for the period of a wave?
Veronika [31]

Answer:

f = c / λ = wave speed c (m/s) / wavelength λ (m). The formula for time is: T (period) = 1 / f (frequency). λ = c / f = wave speed c (m/s) / frequency f (Hz). The unit hertz (Hz) was once called cps = cycles per second.

Whats 47,000 resistance converted to kilo or mega ohms.
Julli [10]
  1. The conversion of 47,000 Ohms to kilo-ohms is equal to 47 kilo-ohms.
  2. The conversion of 47,000 Ohms to mega-ohms is equal to 0.047 kilo-ohms.

<h3>What is resistance?</h3>

Resistance can be defined as an opposition to the flow of current in an electric circuit. Also, the standard unit of measurement of the resistance of an electric component is Ohms, which can be converted to kilo-ohms or mega-ohms.

For Ohms to kilo-ohms, we have:

1 Ohms = 0.001 kilo-ohms

47,000 Ohms = X kilo-ohms

Cross-multiplying, we have:

X = 0.001 × 47000

X = 47 kilo-ohms.

For Ohms to mega-ohms, we have:

1,000,000 ohms = 1 mega-ohms

47,000 Ohms = X mega-ohms

Cross-multiplying, we have:

X1,000,000 = 47,000

X = 47,000/1,000,000

X = 0.047 kilo-ohms.
