Why silicon have large forward current as compared to germanium?​

Physics
1 answer:
Iteru [2.4K]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The structure of Germanium crystals will be destroyed at higher temperature. However, Silicon crystals are not easily damaged by excess heat. Peak Inverse Voltage ratings of Silicon diodes are greater than Germanium diodes. Si is less expensive due to the greater abundance of element.

The international space station makes 15.65 revolutions per day in its orbit around the earth. assuming a circular orbit, how hi
sweet-ann [11.9K]
<span>373.2 km The formula for velocity at any point within an orbit is v = sqrt(mu(2/r - 1/a)) where v = velocity mu = standard gravitational parameter (GM) r = radius satellite currently at a = semi-major axis Since the orbit is assumed to be circular, the equation is simplified to v = sqrt(mu/r) The value of mu for earth is 3.986004419 Ă— 10^14 m^3/s^2 Now we need to figure out how many seconds one orbit of the space station takes. So 86400 / 15.65 = 5520.767 seconds And the distance the space station travels is 2 pi r, and since velocity is distance divided by time, we get the following as the station's velocity 2 pi r / 5520.767 Finally, combining all that gets us the following equality v = 2 pi r / 5520.767 v = sqrt(mu/r) mu = 3.986004419 Ă— 10^14 m^3/s^2 2 pi r / 5520.767 s = sqrt(3.986004419 * 10^14 m^3/s^2 / r) Square both sides 1.29527 * 10^-6 r^2 s^2 = 3.986004419 * 10^14 m^3/s^2 / r Multiply both sides by r 1.29527 * 10^-6 r^3 s^2 = 3.986004419 * 10^14 m^3/s^2 Divide both sides by 1.29527 * 10^-6 s^2 r^3 = 3.0773498781296 * 10^20 m^3 Take the cube root of both sides r = 6751375.945 m Since we actually want how far from the surface of the earth the space station is, we now subtract the radius of the earth from the radius of the orbit. For this problem, I'll be using the equatorial radius. So 6751375.945 m - 6378137.0 m = 373238.945 m Converting to kilometers and rounding to 4 significant figures gives 373.2 km</span>

A brass washer has an outside diameter of 4.50 cm with a hole of diameter 1.25 cm and is 1.50 mm thick. The density of brass is
-Dominant- [34]
We will find the mass from 
mass = density x volume 
We are told the density and must find the volume from the dimensions given 
the volume of the washer will be the area x thickness (remembering to convert all measurements to meters) 
if the washer had no hole, its area would be pi (0.0225m)^2 (remember to convert to meters and to use radius) 
the area of the hole is pi(0.00625m)^2 
so the area of the washer is pi[(0.0225m)^2 - (0.00625m)^2] = 1.5x10^-3 m 
the volume of the washer is 1.5x10^-3 m x 1.5x10^-3 m = 2.25x10^-6 m^3 (the thickness of the washer is 1.5 mm = 1.5x10^-3m) 
thus, the mass of the washer = 8598kg/m^3 x 2.25x10^-6m^3 = 0.0189kg = 18.9 grams
