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.

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

The capacite is C=5.32 uF using the equations of voltage and energy in capacitance  

Explanation:

The energy holds is 5 J and the resistor dissipates 2J so the energy total is 3J

Using:

V_{t}= V_{o}e^{\frac{-t}{R*C} }

Voltage in this case is the energy dissipated so

E_{t}= E_{o}e^{\frac{-t}{R*C} }

\frac{\sqrt{E_t} }{\sqrt{E_o} } = e^{\frac{-t}{R*C} }

\frac{\sqrt{3 J} }{\sqrt{5J} } = e^{\frac{-13.6ms}{10kw*C} }

Using the equation to find capacitance

ln 0.775= e^{\frac{-13.6 x10^{3} }{10x10^{3}*C }} \\ln(0.775)= ln * e^{\frac{-13.6 x10^{3s} }{10x10^{3}*C }} \\\\ln(0.775)= {\frac{-13.6 x10^{3} }{10x10^{3}*C }} \\C= \frac{-13.6 x10^{-3} }{10x10x^{3}*ln(0.775) }

C= 5.32x10^{-6} F

C= 5.32 uF because u is the symbol for micro that is equal to 10^{-6}

Which of the following statements are true concerning the creation of magnetic fields? Check all that apply. Check all that appl
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

A permanent magnet creates a magnetic field at all points in the surrounding region.

An electric current in a conductor creates a magnetic field at all points in the surrounding region.

A moving electric charge creates a magnetic field at all points in the surrounding region.

Explanation:

Magnet field is a region around the magnet in which the magnetic force can be experienced. A magnet has two poles: North pole and South pole. A Magnetic field originates from north pole and ends at south pole.

Magnets are of two types: Permanent magnet and temporary magnet.

A moving charge produces magnetic field. A stationary charge can not produce a magnetic field.

The rate of flowing charge constitutes an electric current. If the cardboard is placed around the current carrying conductor and the iron fillings spread around the cardboard then the iron nails get stick to it. It means that a current carrying conductor creates a magnetic field around it.

Therefore, the true statements from the given statements are as follows;

A permanent magnet creates a magnetic field at all points in the surrounding region.

An electric current in a conductor creates a magnetic field at all points in the surrounding region.

A moving electric charge creates a magnetic field at all points in the surrounding region.

Which statement correctly explains scientific theories?
Elan Coil [88]
<span>Scientific theories are tested and proven over time; they are then considered scientific laws.

Sometimes however, they are proven wrong, and so they do not become laws

hope this helps</span>
