Question
Silicon is a semiconducting metal with a resistivity of 640 Ω · m.
(a)
Determine the current per unit area through a 5.02 V silicon junction with a length of 1.64 mm. (Enter your answer in A/m2.)
 
(b)
Find the current (in A) through the junction if its cross-sectional area is 3.00 ✕ 10−5 m2.
 
Expert Solution
Data :

Data:* Resistivity of silicon, ρ = 640Ω m* Voltage , V = 5.02 V* Length , l = 1.64 mm                  = 1.64×10-3m*Cross-sectional area of junction, A = 3×10-5m2
