Answer:

The net torque is zero

Explanation:

Let's assume that the dipole is compose of two equal but oposite charges e, and it cam be represented by a rod with one end having a charge e and the other end with a charge of -e. Notice that the dipole is parallel to the electric field thus the force felt by both of the charges will be parallel to the electric field. This means that there will be no components of the forces that are perpendicular to the rod which is a requirement for it to have a torque.

EC_1 + EP_1 = EC2 + EP_2

EC_2 = 0

EC_2 = EP_1 - EP_2

A p-type Si sample is used in the Haynes-Shockley experiment. The length of the sample is 2 cm, and two probes are separated by

Airida [17]

Answer:

Mobility of the minority carriers, $\mu_{n} =1184.21 cm^{2} /V-sec$

Diffusion coefficient for minority carriers, $D_{n} = 29.20 cm^2 /s$

Verified from Einstein relation as $\frac{D_{n} }{\mu_{n} } = 25 mV$

Explanation:

Length of sample, $l_{s} = 2 cm$

Separation between the two probes, L = 1.8 cm

Drift time, $t_{d} = 0.608 ms$

Applied voltage, V = 5 V

Mobility of the minority carriers ( electrons), $\mu_{n} = \frac{V_{d} }{E}$

Where the drift velocity, $V_{d} = \frac{L}{t_{d} }$

$V_{d} = \frac{1.8}{0.608 * 10^{-3} } \\V_{d} = 2960.53 cm/s$

and the Electric field strength, $E = \frac{V}{l_{s} }$

E = 5/2

E = 2.5 V/cm

Mobility of the minority carriers:

$\mu_{n} = 2960.53/2.5\\\mu_{n} =1184.21 cm^{2} /V-sec$

The electron diffusion coefficient, $D_{n} = \frac{(\triangle x)^{2} }{16 t_{d} }$

$\triangle x = (\triangle t )V_{d}$ , where Δt = separation of pulse seen in an oscilloscope in time( it should be in micro second range)

$\triangle x = \frac{(\triangle t) L}{t_{d} } \\\triangle x = \frac{180*10^{-6} * 1.8}{0.608*10^{-3} }\\\triangle x =0.533 cm$

$D_{n} = \frac{0.533^{2} }{16 * 0.608 * 10^{-3} }\\D_{n} = 29.20 cm^2 /s$

For the Einstein equation to be satisfied, $\frac{D_{n} }{\mu_{n} } = \frac{KT}{q} = 0.025 V$

$\frac{D_{n} }{\mu_{n} } = \frac{29.20}{1184.21} \\\frac{D_{n} }{\mu_{n} } = 0.025 = 25 mV$

Verified.

Rus_ich [418]

M1 descending
−m1g + T = m1a

m2 ascending
m2g − T = m2a

this gives :
(m2 − m1)g = (m1 + m2)a

a = (m2 − m1)g/m1 + m2
= (5.60 − 2)/(2 + 5.60) x 9.81

When driving in heavy rain, or on a flooded road, your tires can ride on a thin film of water like skis;

Simora [160]

The answer is letter a. It is best to slow down in situations of heavy rain or flooded road as skid could be the result if you lose out of control because the driver isn't slowing down. That is why it is being said that tires can ride on a thin film of water skis as it could skid if it has lost control if the driver hadn't slowed down.

A shift in one fringe in the Michelson-Morley experiment corresponds to a change in the round-trip travel time along one arm of

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Explanation:

When Michelson-Morley apparatus is turned through $90^{o}$ then position of two mirrors will be changed. The resultant path difference will be as follows.

$\frac{lv^{2}}{\lambda c^{2}} - (-\frac{lv^{2}}{\lambda c^{2}}) = \frac{2lv^{2}}{\lambda c^{2}}$

Formula for change in fringe shift is as follows.

n = $\frac{2lv^{2}}{\lambda c^{2}}$

$v^{2} = \frac{n \lambda c^{2}}{2l}$

v = $\sqrt{\frac{n \lambda c^{2}}{2l}}$

According to the given data change in fringe is n = 1. The data is Michelson and Morley experiment is as follows.

l = 11 m

$\lambda = 5.9 \times 10^{-7} m$

c = $3.0 \times 10^{8}$ m/s

Hence, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

v = $\sqrt{\frac{n \lambda c^{2}}{2l}}$

= $\sqrt{\frac{1 \times (5.9 \times 10^{-7} m) \times (3.0 \times 10^{8})^{2}}{2 \times 11 m}}$

= $2.41363 \times 10^{9} m/s$

Thus, we can conclude that velocity deduced is $2.41363 \times 10^{9} m/s$ .
