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

Physics
1 answer:
Iteru [2.4K]3 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.

One heater uses 310 W of power when connected by itself to a battery. Another heater uses 180 W of power when connected by itsel
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

55.8W

Explanation:

P= V^2/R

R= V^2/P

For series connection

Req= R1+ R2= V^2/310 + V^2/180

R=V^2/P= V^2/310 + V^2/180

But V^2 will cancel out

P= 1/(1/310 + 1/180)

P= 55.8W

Unpolarized light with intensity 370 W/m2 passes first through a polarizing filter with its axis vertical, then through a second
vampirchik [111]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts given by Malus regarding the Intensity of light.

From the law of Malus intensity can be defined as

I' = \frac{I_0}{2} cos^2 \theta

Where

\theta =Angle From vertical of the axis of the polarizing filter

I_0 = Intensity of the unpolarized light

The expression for the intensity of the light after passing through the first filter is given by

I = \frac{I_0}{2}

Replacing we have that

I = \frac{370}{2}

I = 185W/m^2

Re-arrange the equation,

I'= \frac{I_0}{2}cos^2\theta

Re-arrange to find \theta

cos^2\theta = \frac{2I'}{I_0}

cos^2\theta = \frac{2*138}{370}

\theta = cos^{-1}(\sqrt{\frac{2*138}{370}})

\theta = 0.5282rad

\theta = 30.27\°

The value of the angle from vertical of the axis of the second polarizing filter is equal to 30.2°

You travel in a car 30 miles north to ava and home again. what is your distance? __________________________________________ what
Luden [163]
If you travel 30 miles somewhere and then come home again your distance is 60 miles.  Your displacement is 0 because it is the ending position minus the beginning position, which are the same place (home).  In other words, displacement is a vector and distance is a scalar.
