Answer:

The correct option is B

Explanation:

Although, it is common knowledge that in an electric field, unlike charges attract and like charges repel. However, to build up an electric potential, a positive charge is brought close to another positive charge - this causes work done to be changed to electric potential energy and stored in the electric field.

It should however be noted that when a negative charge is moved away from a positive charge, the negative charge gains electric potential energy.

A cube that is 20 nanometer on an edge contains 399,500 silicon atoms, and each silicon atom has 14 electrons and 14 protons. In
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

Total 3 holes are available for conduction of current at 300K.

Explanation:

In order to develop a semiconductor, two type of impurities can be added as given below:

  1. N-type Impurities: Pentavalent impurities e.g. Phosphorous, Arsenic are added to have an additional electron in the structure. Thus a pentavalent impurity creates 1 additional electron.
  2. P-type Impurities: Trivalent impurities e.g. Boron, Aluminium are added to have a positive "hole" in the structure. Thus a trivalent impurity creates 1 hole.

Now for estimation of extra electrons in the impured structure is as

N_{electrons-free}=n_{pentavalent \, atoms}\\N_{electrons-free}=4\\

Now for estimation of "holes"  in the impured structure is as

N_{holes}=n_{trivalent \, atoms}\\N_{holes}=7\\

Now when the free electrons and "holes" are available in the structure ,the "holes" will be filled by the free electrons therefore

N_{holes-net}=N_{holes}-N_{electrons-free}\\N_{holes-net}=7-4\\N_{holes-net}=3

So total 3 "holes" are available for conduction of current at 300K.

Why isn’t a bird sitting on a high-voltage power line electrocuted? Contrast this with the situation in which a large bird hits
Grace [21]

Answer:

The reason the bird is not electrocuted is due to some facts about circuit:

1. Completeness of circuit- This circuit needs to be

complete in order for current to flow. The bird standing on only one wire has not completed the circuit.

2. A potential difference: Another factor deciding

the direction of flow of current is (electric)

potential. Current always flows from a higher

potential to a lower potential. In other words it

can be said that electrons flow from lower

potential to higher one. (the direction of electric

current is opposite to that of the electrons). So

we need the potential difference for current to

flow. The bird standing on only one wire has no potential difference.

3. Path of least Resistance- Factor that decides

the path a current will flow in case of parallel

paths is the (electric) resistance offered by the

path. Current will always flow in the path that

offers least resistance. The leg of a bird has high resistance.

Explanation:

It has no potential difference as both the legs of bird are touching the same wire at same constant potential. ... If the bird would touch the ground while sitting on the wire or flap its wings and touch another electric wire with a different voltage, then it would get shocked and likely die by electrocution.

while in the other hand, the Bird that touches two wires with it wings at the same time will get electrocuted because it has completed a circuit and the its feathers created a potential difference .
