Answer:

Resistivity = 231.481 K Ohm

Yes, Intrinsic Silicon is the semiconductor.

Explanation:

Solution:

At 300K:

Let suppose mobility of electron in intrinsic semiconductor = M_{e}

Mobility of electron in intrinsic semiconductor is:

M_{e}  = 1300 cm^{2}/volt.sec

Let suppose mobility of hole in intrinsic semiconductor = M_{h}

M_{h} = 500 cm^{2}/volt.sec

We know that, intrinsic silicon semiconductor has equal number of holes and electrons. So,

At 300 K

Intrinsic Carrier Concentration = 1.5 x 10^{10}/cm^{3} = C

And,

Conductivity of intrinsic Silicon is:

σ = C x (M_{h} + M_{e}) e

e = 1.6 x 10^{-19} C

So, plugging in the values, we get:

σ = C x (M_{h} + M_{e}) e

σ = 1.5 x 10^{10} x (500 + 1300) x 1.6 x 10^{-19}

σ = 4.32 x 10^{-6}

So, now we can find the resistivity.

Resistivity = 1/σ

Resistivity = 1/ 4.32 x 10^{-6}

Resistivity = 231.481 K Ohm

Yes, Intrinsic Silicon is the semiconductor.

The specific weight of sea water is 10.1 kN/m^3. Convert to lbs/in^3.
Viktor [21]

Answer:

0.03719 lbs/in³

Explanation:

Specific weight is given by multiplying the density of an object to the acceleration due to gravity.

\gamma =\rho g\\\Rightarrow \rho=\frac{gamma}{g}\\\Rightarrow \rho=\frac{10.1\times 10^3}{9.81}\\\Rightarrow \rho=1029.562\ kg/m^3

1\ kg=2.20462\ lb

1\ m=39.3701\ in

\\\Rightarrow 1029.562\ kg/m^3=\frac{1029.562\times 2.20462}{39.3701^3}=0.03719\ lbs/in^3

So,

10.1\ kN/m^3=0.03719\ lbs/in^3

How does the circuit change when the wire is added? a closed circuit occurs and makes all bulbs turn off. an open circuit occurs
Vitek1552 [10]

The circuit change when a wire is added is, an open circuit occurs and makes all bulbs turn off.

<h3>What is a closed circuit?</h3>

A closed circuit is a type of circuit connection in which the wire connection is complete and current flow occurs, turning the light bulbs on in the process.

<h3>What is an open circuit?</h3>

An open circuit is a type of circuit connection in which the wire connection is incomplete and current cannot flow, turning off the light bulbs.

Thus, the circuit change when the wire is added is, an open circuit occurs and makes all bulbs turn off.

You ride your bike north for 100 m at a constant speed of 5 m/Your acceleration is…
inessss [21]

Answer:

our acceleration is 0 because there is a constant speed..

a = final speed - initial speed / time

final speed = initial speed ( since speed is constant)

therefore acceleration is 0
