When an electric field is applied across a semiconductor

Electric field is applied to a semiconductor. In it density of conducting charge is n the drift velocity is v. Now increasing the temperature of semiconductor ……..

Calculate the electric field at origin due to infinite number of charges as shown in figure below.

Four containers are filled with monoatomic ideal gases. For each container , the number of moles , the mass of an individual atom and the rms speed of the atoms are expressed in terms of n , m and v_("rms") respectively . If T_(A) , T_(B) , T_(C) and T_(D) are their temperatures respectively then which one of the options correctly represents the order ?

The electron drift arises due to the force experienced by electrons in the electric field Inside the conductor. But force should cause acceleration. Why then do the electrons acquire a steady average drift speed ?

A toy car with charge q moves on a frictionless horizontal plane surface under the influence of a uniform electric field vecE. Due to the force q vecE, its velocity increases from 0 to 6 m/s in one second duration. At that instant the direction of the field is reversed. The car continues to move for two more second under the influence of this filed. The average velocity and the average speed of the toy car between 0 to 3 seconds are respectively,

A particle of mass m and charge (-q) enters the region between the two charged plates initially moving along x-axis with speed v_x (like particle 1 in figure. The length of plate is L and an uniform electric field E is maintained between the plates. Show that the vertical deflection of the particle at the far edge of the plate is qEL^(2)//(2m v_(x)^(2)) . Compare this motion with motion of a projectile in gravitational field discussed in Section 4.10 of Class XI Textbook of Physics.

Charges are placed on the verticles of a as shown. Let vec(E) be the electric field and V the potential at the centre. If the charges on a and B are inercharged with those on D and C respectively, then-

An electric toaster uses nichrome for its heating element. When a negligibly small current passes through it, its resistance at room temperature (27.0^(@)C) is found to be 75.3 Omega . When the toaster is connected to a 230 V supply, the current settles, after a few seconds, to a steady value of 2.68 A. What is the steady temperature of the nichrome element ? The temperature coefficient of resistance of nichrome averaged over the temperature range involved , is 1.70 xx 10^(-4) ""^(@) C^(-1) .
