To solve the problem of finding the percentage increase in the number of charge carriers in germanium as the temperature increases from 280 K to 300 K, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship The number of electron-hole pairs (N) in a semiconductor is proportional to \( e^{-\frac{\Delta E}{2kT}} \), where: - \( \Delta E \) is the energy gap (0.65 eV for germanium), - \( k \) is the Boltzmann constant (\( 8.62 \times 10^{-5} \) eV/K), - \( T \) is the temperature in Kelvin. ...
