Get started for freeA hypothetical metal is known to have an electrical resistivity of \(3.3 \times 10^{-8}(\Omega \cdot \mathrm{m}) .\) A current of \(25 \mathrm{~A}\) is passed through a specimen of this metal \(15 \mathrm{~mm}\) thick. When a magnetic field of \(0.95\) tesla is simultaneously imposed in a direction perpendicular to that of the current, a Hall voltage of \(-2.4 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~V}\) is measured. Compute the following: (a) the electron mobility for this metal (b) the number of free electrons per cubic meter
What are the two functions that a transistor may perform in an electronic circuit?
In terms of electron energy band structure, discuss reasons for the difference in electrical conductivity among metals, semiconductors, and insulators.
A charge of \(2.0 \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{C}\) is to be stored on each plate of a parallel-plate capacitor having an area of \(650 \mathrm{~mm}^{2}\) (1.0 in. \(^{2}\) ) and a plate separation of \(4.0 \mathrm{~mm}(0.16 \mathrm{in} .)\). (a) What voltage is required if a material having a dielectric constant of \(3.5\) is positioned within the plates? (b) What voltage would be required if a vacuum were used? (c) What are the capacitances for parts (a) and (b)? (d) Compute the dielectric displacement for part (a). (e) Compute the polarization for part (a).
