Question
State Kirchhoff's rules of current distribution in an electrical network. Using these rules determine the value of the current I1 in the electric circuit given below.
✓
Answer
Junction Rule: At any junction of several circuit elements the sum of currents entering the junction must be equal to the sum of currents leaving it.
Loop Rule: Algebraic sum of changes in the potential around any closed loop must be zero.
Loop ABCFA
$\text{I}_{1} + 2\text{I}_{3} = 2 ........................$ (1)
Loop FCDEF
$2\text{I}_{3} + \text{I}_{2} = 6 .................................$(2)
At F, $\text{I}_{1} + \text{I}_{2} = \text{I}_{3} ........................................$(3)
Solving (1), (2) and (3)
$\text{I}_{1} = - 0.8 \text{A}$

→A semiconducting material has a band gap of 1eV. Acceptor impurities are doped into it which create acceptor levels 1meV above the valence band. Assume that the transition from one energy level to the other is almost forbidden if kT is less than $\frac{1}{50}$ of the energy gap. Also, if kT is more than twice the gap, the upper levels have maximum population. The temperature of the semiconductor is increased from 0K. The concentration of the holes increases with temperature and after a certain temperature it becomes approximately constant. As the temperature is further increased, the hole concentration again starts increasing at a certain temperature. Find the order of the temperature range in which the hole concentration remains approximately constant.
