To solve the problem, we need to calculate the number of electrons and holes in a silicon crystal that has been doped with a pentavalent element (arsenic) at a concentration of 1 ppm. We are given the intrinsic carrier concentration \( n_i = 1.5 \times 10^{16} \, \text{m}^{-3} \) and the number of silicon atoms in the crystal. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the number of silicon atoms**: The number of silicon atoms in the crystal is given as: \[ N_{Si} = 5 \times 10^{28} \, \text{atoms/m}^3 ...
