Who invented the transistor
erma4kov [3.2K]

A transistor is a semiconductor device used to amplify or switch electronic signals and electrical power. It is composed of semiconductor material usually with at least three terminals for connection to an external circuit. A voltage or current applied to one pair of the transistor's terminals changes the current through another pair of terminals. Because the controlled (output) power can be higher than the controlling (input) power, a transistor can amplify a signal. Today, some transistors are packaged individually, but many more are found embedded in integrated circuits.

Some of the earliest work on semiconductor amplifiers emerged from Eastern Europe. In 1922-23 Russian engineer Oleg Losev of the Nizhegorod Radio Laboratory, Leningrad, found that a special mode of operation in a point-contact zincite (ZnO) crystal diode supported signal amplification up to 5 MHz. Although Losev experimented with the material in radio circuits for years, he died in the 1942 Siege of Leningrad and was unable to advocate for his place in history. His work is largely unknown.

Austro-Hungarian physicist, Julius E. Lilienfeld, moved to the US and in 1926 filed a patent for a “Method and Apparatus for Controlling Electric Currents” in which he described a three-electrode amplifying device using copper-sulfide semiconductor material. Lilienfeld is credited with inventing the electrolytic capacitor but there is no evidence that he built a working amplifier. His patent, however, had sufficient resemblance to the later field effect transistor to deny future patent applications for that structure.

<span>German scientists also contributed to this early research. While working at Cambridge University, England in 1934, German electrical engineer and inventor Oskar Heil filed a patent on controlling current flow in a semiconductor via capacitive coupling at an electrode – essentially a field-effect transistor. And in 1938, Robert Pohl and Rudolf Hilsch experimented on potassium-bromide crystals with three electrodes at Gottingen University. They reported amplification of low-frequency (about 1 Hz) signals. None of this research led to any applications but Heil is remembered in audiophile circles today for his air motion transformer used in high fidelity speakers.</span>

What is the minimal mass of helium (density 0.18 kg/m3) needed to lift a balloon carrying two people in a basket, if the total m
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:   
 M[min] = M[basket+people+ balloon, not gas] * ΔR/R[b] 
 Î”R is the difference in density between the gas inside and surrounding the balloon. 
 R[b] is the density of gas inside the baloon.   
 ==================================== 
 Let V be the volume of helium required. 
 Upthrust on helium = Weight of the volume of air displaced = Density of air * g * Volume of helium = 1.225 * g * V   
 U = 1.225gV newtons 
 ---- 
 Weight of Helium = Volume of Helium * Density of Helium * g 
 W[h] = 0.18gV N   
 Net Upward force produced by helium, F = Upthrust - Weight = (1.225-0.18) gV = 1.045gV N  -----

 
 Weight of 260kg = 2549.7 N 
 Then to lift the whole thing, F > 2549.7 
 So minimal F would be 2549.7 
 ---- 
 1.045gV = 2549.7 
 V = 248.8 m^3   
 Mass of helium required = V * Density of Helium = 248.8 * 0.18 = 44.8kg (3sf)   
 =====   
 Let the density of the surroundings be R 
 Then U-W = (1-0.9)RgV = 0.1RgV   
 So 0.1RgV = 2549.7 N 
 V = 2549.7 / 0.1Rg   
 Assuming that R is again 1.255, V = 2071.7 m^3 
 Then mass of hot air required = 230.2 * 0.9R = 2340 kg   
 Notice from this that M = 2549.7/0.9Rg * 0.1R so   
 M[min] = Weight of basket * (difference in density between balloon's gas and surroundings / density of gas in balloon)   
 M[min] = M[basket] * ΔR/R[b]
