ASSIGNMENT PROBLEMS

1. In an intrinsic semiconductor, the effective mass of the electron is 0.07 m, and that of the hole is 0.4 m where is the rest mass of the electron. Calculate the intrinsic concentration of charge carriers at 300 K. Given Eg = 0.7 eV.

[Ans: 2.3 × 1018/m3]

2. In a Hall experiment, a current of 25 A is passed through a long foil of silver which is 0.1 mm thick and 3 cm wide. A magnetic field of flux density 0.14 Wb/m2 is applied perpendicular to the foil. Calculate Hall voltage developed and estimate the mobility of electrons in silver. Given the conductivity of silver is 6.8 × 107-1 m-1 and Hall coefficient is - 8.4 × 10-11 m3/C.

 [Ans: 29.4 μV and μe = 57.7 × 10-4 m2 V-1 s-1]
