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.

2.1 What is the minimum number of pins required for a so-called dual-op-amp IC package, one containing two op amps? What is the
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

8 for dual-op-amp package, and 14 for quad-op-amp

Explanation;

This is because every op-amp has 2 input terminal 4 pns

So one output terminal that is 2 pins which are required for power

and the same for a minumum number of pins required by quad op amp which is 14

A system consists of a disk rotating on a frictionless axle
kakasveta [241]

The system includes a disk rotating on a frictionless axle and a bit of clay transferring towards it, as proven withinside the determine above.

<h3>What is the angular momentum?</h3>

The angular momentum of the device earlier than and after the clay sticks can be the same.

Conservation of angular momentum the precept of conservation of angular momentum states that the whole angular momentum is usually conserved.

  1. Li = Lf where;
  2. li is the preliminary second of inertia
  3. If is the very last second of inertia
  4. wi is the preliminary angular velocity
  5. wf is the very last angular velocity
  6. Li is the preliminary angular momentum
  7. Lf is the very last angular momentum

Thus, the angular momentum of the device earlier than and after the clay sticks can be the same.

I wish to have a computer whose machine-level instructions are all 32 bits each. If I want to have all instructions of the form
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

Maximum number that can be represented by 13 bits  is 8192 Instructions

Explanation:

number of instructions = 1000

number of bits = log(1000) x number of register

                          = 6 bits

Since the complete instruction must have 32 bits, then

remaining number of bits = 32 - 6 = 236

number of registers in instruction = 2

number of bits per register = 26/2 = 13

Maximum number that can be represented by 13 bits = 2^{n}

                       = 2¹³ = 8192
