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.

n deep space, sphere A of mass 47 kg is located at the origin of an x axis and sphere B of mass 110 kg is located on the axis at
Volgvan

Answer:

a)-1.014x 10^{-7J

b)3.296 x  10^{-7J

Explanation:

For Sphere A:

mass 'Ma'= 47kg

xa= 0

For sphere B:

mass 'Mb'= 110kg

xb=3.4m

a)the gravitational potential energy is given by

U_{i = -GMaMb/ d

U_{i= - 6.67 x 10^{-11} x 47 x 110/ 3.4 => -1.014x 10^{-7J

b) at d= 0.8m (3.4-2.6) and U_{i=-1.014x 10^{-7J

The sum of potential and kinetic energies must be conserved as the energy is conserved.

K_{i + U_{i= K_{f + U_{f

As sphere starts from rest and sphere A is fixed at its place, therefore K_{i is zero

U_{i= K_{f + U_{f

The final potential energy is

U_{f= - GMaMb/d

Solving for 'K_{f '

K_{f = U_{i + GMaMb/d => -1.014x 10^{-7 + 6.67 x 10^{-11} x 47 x 110/ 0.8

K_{f = 3.296 x  10^{-7J

Some students set up a circuit and decided to measure the voltage at different points around
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

 V₁ = 6 V ,  V₂ = V₃ = 3 V

Explanation:

To solve this circuit we must remember that there are two fundamental types of construction in series and parallel.

* a serial circuit there is only one path for current

in this circuit the constant current in the entire circuit and the voltage is the sum of the voltage of each term

* Parallel circuit in this there are two or more paths for the current

in this circuit the voltage is constant and the east is divided between each branch

with these principles let's analyze the proposed circuit

The DC battery is in parallel with resistor R1 and the equivalent of the other branch,

as in a parallel circuit the voltage is constant

               V₁ = 6 V

in the other branch (23) it forms a series construction, where the current is constant

               6 = iR₂ + iR₃

as they indicate that each resistance has the same value

              6 = 2 iR

              V = V₂ = V₃ = 3 V
