Find the current that flows in a silicon bar of 10-μm length having a 5-μm × 4-μm cross-section and having free-electron and hol

klasskru [66]

The current flowing in silicon bar is 2.02 $\times$ 10^-12 A.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Length of silicon bar, l = 10 μm = 0.001 cm

Free electron density, Ne = 104 cm^3

Hole density, Nh = 1016 cm^3

μn = 1200 cm^2 / V s

μр = 500 cm^2 / V s

The total current flowing in the bar is the sum of the drift current due to the hole and the electrons.

J = Je + Jh

J = n qE μn + p qE μp

where, n and p are electron and hole densities.

J = Eq (n μn + p μp)

we know that E = V / l

So, J = (V / l) q (n μn + p μp)

J = (1.6 $\times$ 10^-19) / 0.001 (104 $\times$ 1200 + 1016 $\times$ 500)

J = 1012480 $\times$ 10^-16 A / m^2.

or

J = 1.01 $\times$ 10^-9 A / m^2

Current, I = JA

A is the area of bar, A = 20 μm = 0.002 cm

I = 1.01 $\times$ 10^-9 $\times$ 0.002 = 2.02 $\times$ 10^-12

So, the current flowing in silicon bar is 2.02 $\times$ 10^-12 A.

8. An unpowered flywheel is slowed by a constant frictional torque. At time t = 0 it has an angular velocity of 200 rad/s. Ten s

allsm [11]

Answer:

a) $\omega = 50\,\frac{rad}{s}$ , b) $\omega = 0\,\frac{rad}{s}$

Explanation:

The magnitude of torque is a form of moment, that is, a product of force and lever arm (distance), and force is the product of mass and acceleration for rotating systems with constant mass. That is:

$\tau = F \cdot r$

$\tau = m\cdot a \cdot r$

$\tau = m \cdot \alpha \cdot r^{2}$

Where $\alpha$ is the angular acceleration, which is constant as torque is constant. Angular deceleration experimented by the unpowered flywheel is:

$\alpha = \frac{170\,\frac{rad}{s} - 200\,\frac{rad}{s} }{10\,s}$

$\alpha = -3\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}$

Now, angular velocities of the unpowered flywheel at 50 seconds and 100 seconds are, respectively:

a) t = 50 s.

$\omega = 200\,\frac{rad}{s} - \left(3\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} \right) \cdot (50\,s)$

$\omega = 50\,\frac{rad}{s}$

b) t = 100 s.

Given that friction is of reactive nature. Frictional torque works on the unpowered flywheel until angular velocity is reduced to zero, whose instant is:

$t = \frac{0\,\frac{rad}{s}-200\,\frac{rad}{s} }{\left(-3\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} \right)}$

$t = 66.667\,s$

Since $t > 66.667\,s$ , then the angular velocity is equal to zero. Therefore:

$\omega = 0\,\frac{rad}{s}$

Most street lights are made from one or two elements mercury or sodium. Explain why astronomers preferred that cities you sodium

lora16 [44]

Mercury is very harmful to the average human being. the mercury can easily be released from the lamp if the lamp is knocked over and broken. mercury is also harmful if inhaled. sodium on the other hand is not harmful in any way.
