1. A flat aluminum strip has a resistivity of 3.44x10-8 Ω m, a cross-sectional area of
2x10-4 mm2, and a length of 5mm. what is the voltage drop across the strip for a
current of 50 m A?
2. The resistance of no.18 copper wire (diameter= 1.03mm) is 6.5 ohms per 1000 ft.
The concentration of free electrons in copper is 8.4x1028 electrons/m3. If the
current is 2A, find the followings:
(a) Drift velocity (b) Conductivity (c) Mobility (1 ft. = 0.3 m)
3. A specimen of silicon is 4cm long and has a square cross section 2x2mm. the
current is due to electrons whose mobility is 1300 cm2/v. Two volts impressed
across the bar results in a current of 8mA.
(a) Calculate the concentration n of free electrons.
(b) The drift velocity.
4. Show that the resistivity of intrinsic germanium at 300ok is 45 ohm.cm, and also
find the resistivity of intrinsic silicon at 300ok.
