To Calculate: The density of free electrons in silicon sample at 264 K.
Answer to Problem 12PP
Explanation of Solution
Given:
At 200 K, the density free electrons in a sample of silicon is
For every
Temperature,
Calculations:
At 200 K, the density free electrons in a sample of silicon is
Take the difference in temperature:
Divide by 8 to find the number of times the temperature increases by 8 K.
Thus, the density of free electrons doubles 8 times:
The density of free electrons in a silicon sample at
Conclusion:
Thus, the density of free electrons in silicon sample at 264 K is
