Question
Can there be a potential difference between two conductors of equal volume, even though both have the same positive charge?
✓
Answer
Yes, because the size of two conductors of the same volume may be different, due to which the potential will be different due to the difference in capacitance, that is, there will be a potential difference between them.

When a semiconducting material is doped with an impurity, new acceptor levels are created. In a particular thermal collision, a valence electron receives an energy equal to 2kT and just reaches one of the acceptor levels. Assuming that the energy of the electron was at the top edge of the valence band and that the temperature T is equal to 300K, find the energy of the acceptor levels above the valence band.
