In sample of pure silicon 10^(13) "atom"//cm^(3) is mixed of phosphorus. If all doner atoms are active then what will be resistivity at 20^(@)C if mobility of electron is 1200 cm^(2)//"Volt" sec :-

A student prepared a sample of silicon chloride by passing chlorine over heated silicon and collecting the condensed silicon chloride in a small specimen tube. He analysed the chloride in a small specimen tube. He analysed the chloride by dissolving a known mass of it in water, and titrating the solution with standard silver nitrate solution. The formula of the silicon chloride as obtained by this method was SiCl_(2.6) as against a 'true' formula of SiCl_(4) . Which of the following possible errors could have resulted in this wrong formula ?

In an n-type silicon, which of the following statement is true :

Assertion: The number of electrons in a p -type silicon semiconductor is less than the number of electrons ina pure silicon semiconductor at room temperature. Reason: It is due to law of mass action.

A n-type silicon sample of width 4 xx 10^(-3)m , thickness 25 xx 10^(-5)m and length 6 xx 10^(-2)m carries a current of 4.8 mA when the voltage is applied across the length of the sample. If the free electron density is 10^(22)m^(-3) , then find how much time does it take for the electrons to travel the full length of the sample? Given that charge on an electron e=1.6 xx 10^(-19)C
