Question
Why should electrostatic field be zero inside a conductor?
✓

Answer

In the static situation, there is no current inside, or on the surface, of the conductor. Hence the electric field is zero everywhere inside the conductor.

Alternate Answer

since the charge inside the conductor is zero, the electric field is also zero.

Alternate Answer

since the conductor is uncharged so the electric field inside it is zero.

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.
