The correct Answer is:
To find the conductivity of pure silicon crystal at 300 K, we can use the formula for conductivity (σ): \[ \sigma = n_i e (\mu_h + \mu_e) \] Where: - \( n_i \) = number of electron-hole pairs per cm³ - \( e \) = charge of an electron (approximately \( 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \) coulombs) - \( \mu_h \) = mobility of holes - \( \mu_e \) = mobility of electrons ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values**: - \( n_i = 2 \times 10^{10} \, \text{cm}^{-3} \) - \( \mu_e = 1350 \, \text{cm}^2/\text{V·s} \) - \( \mu_h = 480 \, \text{cm}^2/\text{V·s} \) - \( e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{C} \) 2. **Substitute the values into the conductivity formula**: \[ \sigma = n_i e (\mu_h + \mu_e) \] \[ \sigma = (2 \times 10^{10}) \times (1.6 \times 10^{-19}) \times (480 + 1350) \] 3. **Calculate the sum of mobilities**: \[ \mu_h + \mu_e = 480 + 1350 = 1830 \, \text{cm}^2/\text{V·s} \] 4. **Substitute the sum back into the equation**: \[ \sigma = (2 \times 10^{10}) \times (1.6 \times 10^{-19}) \times (1830) \] 5. **Calculate the product**: \[ \sigma = (2 \times 1.6 \times 1830) \times 10^{10} \times 10^{-19} \] \[ = (5.856) \times 10^{-9} \, \text{mho/cm} \] 6. **Final result**: \[ \sigma = 5.856 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{mho/cm} \] ### Final Answer: The conductivity of pure silicon crystal at 300 K is \( 5.856 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{mho/cm} \).
