48.
An n type silicon bar 0.1 cm long and 100 μm2 in cross-sectional area has a majority carrier concentration of 5 x 1020/m3 and the carrier mobility is 0.13 m0/V-s at 300k. If the charge of an electron is 1.6 x 10-19 coulomb, then the resistance of the bar is
106 ohm
104 ohm
10-1 ohm
10-4 ohm
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Resistance of bar(R) =

l = 0.1 cm, A = 100 x 10-6 m2

σ = neμn + Peμp

But bar is of n type then it can be approximated to σ = neμn.

Option A is the correct answer.

100 μm2=100*10^(-6).
Correct answer -100 μm2 = 10^(-10).
