A diode, which allows current to flow in one direction only, consists of two types of semiconductors joined together.

Nata [24]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

A diode, which allows current to flow in one direction only, consists of two types of semiconductors joined together.

A semiconductor can be defined as a crystalline solid substance that has its conductivity lying between that of a metal and an insulator, due to the effects of temperature or an addition of an impurity. Semiconductors are classified into two main categories;

1. Extrinsic semiconductor.

2. Intrinsic semiconductor.

An intrinsic semiconductor is a crystalline solid substance that is in its purest form and having no impurities added to it. Examples of intrinsic semiconductor are Germanium and Silicon.

In an intrinsic semiconductor, the number of free electrons is equal to the number of holes. Also, in an intrinsic semiconductor the number of holes and free electrons is directly proportional to the temperature; as the temperature increases, the number of holes and free electrons increases and vice-versa.

In an intrinsic semiconductor, each free electrons (valence electrons) produces a covalent bond.

A car is moving at a velocity of 25 km/h and increases velocity to 1200 km/h in 2 min. what is the acceleration?

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

a = 2.72 [m/s2]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the following kinematics equation:

$v_{f} =v_{o} + a*t$

where:

Vf = final velocity = 1200 [km/h]

Vo = initial velocity = 25 [km/h]

t = time = 2 [min] = 2/60 = 0.0333 [h]

1200 = 25 + (a*0.0333)

a = 35250.35 [km/h2]

if we convert these units to units of meters per second squared

$35250.35[\frac{km}{h^{2} }]*(\frac{1}{3600^{2} })*[\frac{h^{2} }{s^{2} } ]*(\frac{1000}{1} )*[\frac{m}{km} ] = 2.72 [\frac{m}{s^{2} } ]$

Determine the power that needs to besupplied by the fanifthe desired velocity is 0.05 m3/s and the cross-sectional area is 20 cm

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

A fan with an energy efficiency of 30 % would need 62.5 watts to bring a desired volume flow of 0.05 cubic meters per second through a cross-sectional area of 20 square centimeters.

Explanation:

Complete statement is: <em>Determine the power that needs to besupplied by the fan if the desired velocity is 0.05 cubic meters per second and the cross-sectional area is 20 square centimeters.</em>

From Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics we know that fans are devices that work at steady state which accelerate gases (i.e. air) with no changes in pressure. In this case, mechanical rotation energy is transformed into kinetic energy. If we include losses due to mechanical friction, the Principle of Energy Conservation presents the following equation:

$\eta\cdot \dot W = \dot K$

$\dot W = \frac{\dot K}{\eta}$ (Eq. 1)

Where:

$\eta$ - Efficiency of fan, dimensionless.

$\dot W$ - Electric power supplied fan, measured in watts.

$\dot K$ - Rate of change of kinetic energy of air in time, measured in watts.

From definition of kinetic energy, the equation above is now expanded:

$\dot W = \frac{\rho_{a}\cdot \dot V}{2\cdot \eta}\cdot \left(\frac{\dot V}{A_{s}} \right)^{2}$ (Eq. 2)

Where:

$\rho_{a}$ - Density of air, measured in kilograms per cubic meter.

$\dot V$ - Volume flow, measured in cubic meters per second.

$A_{s}$ - Cross-sectional area of fan, measured in square meters.

If we know that $\rho_{a} = 1.20\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}$ , $\dot V = 0.05\,\frac{m^{3}}{s}$ , $\eta = 0.3$ and $A_{s} = 20\times 10^{-4}\,m^{2}$ , the power needed to be supplied by the fan is:

$\dot K = \left[\frac{\left(1.20\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} \right)\cdot \left(0.05\,\frac{m^{3}}{s} \right)}{2\cdot (0.3)} \right]\cdot \left(\frac{0.05\,\frac{m^{3}}{s} }{20\times 10^{-4}\,m^{2}} \right)^{2}$

$\dot K = 62.5\,W$

A fan with an energy efficiency of 30 % would need 62.5 watts to bring a desired volume flow of 0.05 cubic meters per second through a cross-sectional area of 20 square centimeters.

Find the potential inside and outside a uniformly charged solid sphere whose radius is R and whose total charge is q. Use infini

amid [387]

Answer:

Recall that the electric field outside a uniformly charged solid sphere is exactly the same as if the charge were all at a point in the centre of the sphere:

$E_{outside} =\frac{1}{4\pi(e_{0})}\frac{Q}{r^{2} } r^{'}$

lnside the sphere, the electric field also acts like a point charge, but only for the proportion of the charge further inside than the point r:

$E_{inside} =\frac{1}{4\pi(e_{0})}\frac{Q}{R^{2} } \frac{r}{R} r^{'}$

To find the potential, we integrate the electric field on a path from infinity (where of course, we take the direct path so that we can write the it as a 1 D integral):

$V(r>R)=\int\limits^r_\infty {\frac{1}{4\pi(e_{0)} }\frac{Q}{r^2} } \, dr=\frac{q}{4\pi(e_{0)} } \frac{1}{r} \\V(r$

= $\frac{q}{4\pi e_{0} } [\frac{1}{R} -\frac{r^{2}-R^{2} }{2R^{3} } ]$
