  • A potential difference of 2V is applied between the opposite faces of a Ge crystal plate of area <img alt="\mathrm{1 cm^{2}}" src="https://entrancecorner.oncodecogs.com/gif.latex?%5Cmathrm%7B1%20cm

A potential difference of 2V is applied between the opposite faces of a Ge crystal plate of area \mathrm{1 cm^{2}} and thickness 0.5 mm. If the concentration of electrons in Ge is \mathrm{2 \times 10^{19} / \mathrm{m}^3} and mobilities of electrons and holes are 

\mathrm{0.36\frac{\mathrm{m}^2}{\text { volt }-\mathrm{sec}} \text { and } 0.14 \frac{\mathrm{m}^2}{\text { volt }-\mathrm{sec}}} respectively, then the current flowing through the plate will be

\mathrm{\begin{aligned} & \sigma=n e\left(\mu_e+\mu_n\right)=2 \times 10^{19} \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}(0.36+0.14)=1.6(\Omega-m)^{-1} \\ & R=\rho \frac{1}{A}=\frac{1}{\sigma A}=\frac{0.5 \times 10^{-3}}{1.6 \times 10^{-4}}=\frac{25}{8} \Omega \\ & \therefore i=\frac{V}{R}=\frac{2}{25 / 8}=\frac{16}{25} \mathrm{~A}=0.64 \mathrm{~A} \end{aligned}}
