    • 26 Questions around this concept.

    Solve by difficulty

    In presence of interspace charge, at a plate voltage of \mathrm{200\ V}, the current is \mathrm{80\ mA}. Then the current in mA at \mathrm{400\ V} will be

    In a triode valve, the amplification factor is 20 and mutual conductance is \mathrm{10^{-3}mho}. The plate resistance is

    If in a triode valve amplification factor is 20 and plate resistance is \mathrm{10\ k\Omega }, then its mutual conductance is

    If \mathrm{R_P = 7\ k\Omega , g_m = 2.5\ milli\ mho}, then on increasing plate voltage by \mathrm{50\ V}, how much the grid voltage is changed so that plate current remains the same?

    The value of current in a triode valve is given by \mathrm{I_p=0.004\left(V_p+10 V_{\mathrm{g}}\right)^{3 / 2} \mathrm{~mA}} . When plate potential and grid potential are \mathrm{120\ V} and \mathrm{-2\ V} respectively, then the value of mutual conductance will be:

    The amplification factor of a triode valve is 15. If the grid voltage is changed by 0.3 volt the change in plate voltage in order to keep the plate current constant (in volt) is

    For a thermionic emitter (metallic) if J represents the current density and T is its absolute temperature then the correct curve between $\log _{\mathrm{e}} \frac{\mathrm{J}}{\mathrm{T}^2}$ and $\frac{1}{\mathrm{~T}}$ is

    Electric Conductivity

     Electrical Conductivity (σ)-

    The semiconductor conducts electricity with the help of these two types of electricity or charge carriers (i.e electrons and holes).

    These holes and electrons move in the opposite direction. The electrons always tend to move in opposite direction to the applied electric field.

    Let the mobility of the hole in the crystal is μh and the mobility of electron in the same crystal is μe

    The current density due to drift of holes is given by,

    $$
    J_h=e n_h v_h=e n_h \mu_h E
    $$


    And The current density due to the drift of electrons is given by,

    $$
    J_e=\mathrm{en}_{\mathrm{e}} \mathrm{v}_e=\mathrm{en}_{\mathrm{e}} \mu_e E
    $$

    hence resultant current density would be

    $$
    \begin{aligned}
    & \quad J=J_h+J_e=e n_h v_h+e n_e v_e=e n_h \mu_h E+e n_e \mu_e E=\left(n_h \mu_h+n_e \mu_e\right) e E \\
    & \text { and } J=\sigma E
    \end{aligned}
    $$


    So, the general equation for conductivity is given as

    $$
    \sigma=e\left(n_e \mu_e+n_h \mu_h\right)
    $$

    where
    $n_e=$ electron density
    $n_h=$ hole density
    $\mu_e=$ mobility of electron
    $\mu_h=$ mobility of holes

    For intrinsic semiconductors (no impurities)-

    As the number of electrons will be equal to the number of holes. 

    $\begin{aligned} & \text { i.e } n_e=n_h=n_i \\ & \sigma=n_i e\left(\mu_e+\mu_h\right)\end{aligned}$
