What is the number density of donor atoms which must be added to a pure germanium semiconductor to make $n-$ type semiconductor of conductivity $6.4\ {\Omega ^{ - 1}}\,c{m^{ - 1}}$? The mobility of electr ons in $n-$ type germanium is $4 \times {10^3}\ cm^2\ V^{-1}\ s^{-1}$. Neglect the contribution of holes to conductivity
A $6.0\,volt$ battery is connected to two light bulbs as shown in figure. Light bulb $1$ has resistance $3\,ohm$ while light bulb $2$ has resistance $6\,ohm.$ Battery has negligible internal resistance. Which bulb will glow brighter?
An insulating pipe of cross-section area $'A'$ contains an electrolyte which has two types of ions $\rightarrow$ their charges being $-e$ and $+2e$. $A$ potential difference applied between the ends of the pipe result in the drifting of the two types of ions, having drift speed $= v$ ($-ve$ ion) and $v/4$ ($+ve$ ion). Both ions have the same number per unit volume $= n$. The current flowing through the pipe is
