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.

Answer:

See explaination

Explanation:

Lets first consider the term Isentropic efficiency. The isentropic efficiency of a compressor or pump is defined as the ratio of the work input to an isentropic process, to the work input to the actual process between the same inlet and exit pressures. IN practice, compressors are intentionally cooled to minimize the work input.

R01= 14.1 Ω

R02=  0.03525Ω

<h3>Calculations and Parameters</h3>

Given:

K= E2/E1 = 120/2400

= 0.5

R1= 0.1 Ω, X1= 0.22Ω

R2= 0.035Ω, X2= 0.012Ω

The equivalence resistance as referred to both primary and secondary,

R01= R1 + R2

= R1 + R2/K2

= 0.1 + (0.035/9(0.05)^2)

= 14.1 Ω

R02= R2 + R1

=R2 + K^2.R1

= 0.035 + (0.05)^2 * 0.1

= 0.03525Ω

kvasek [131]

Answer:

geology and engineering

Explanation:

In this specific scenario, the engineer would use all of his geology and engineering knowledge in order to discover some of the potential uses. This is because the field of geology focuses on understanding rocks and all the minerals that make up that specific rock. While engineers focus on finding new ways to get certain tasks done through new technology and resources. By putting his/her knowledge of both of these tasks, the engineer can quickly determine the potential that the newly discovered rock has and the value that it can bring.
