Chapter 10: Q18CQ (page 467)

It is often said that the transistor is a basic element of amplification, yet it supplies no energy of its own. Exactly what is its role in amplification?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The role of the transistor in the amplifier is to split the input current into a tiny current flowing out of the base and a huge fraction flowing out of the collector.

Step by step solution

01

A concept:

The first N-type semiconductor from the left is called the emitter. The middle P-type semiconductor is called the base and the N-type end semiconductor is called the collector. The output circuit to drive the speaker is connected between the collector and emitter ends.

02

Role in amplification:

The input introduces minute voltage changes in the emitter-base, which changes the rate proportionally the electron flow into the base from the emitter.

A small fraction of the varying current becomes the circulating input current and the remainder becomes a proportional varying current in the output circuit.

Therefore, the transistor thus amplifies the variation in the input current.

A string wrapped around a hub of radius Rpulls with force FT on an object that rolls without slipping along horizontal rails on "wheels" of radiusr<R. Assume a massmand rotational inertia I.

(a) Prove that the ratio ofFTto the object's acceleration is negative. (Note: This object can't roll without slipping unless there is friction.) You can do this by actually calculating the acceleration from the translational and rotational second la was of motion, but it is possible to answer this part without such a "real" calculation.

(b) Verify thatFTtimes the speed at which the string moves in the direction of FT (i.e., the power delivered byFT) equals the rate at which the translational and rotational kinetic energies increase. That is.FTdoes all the work in this system, while the "internal" force does none. (c) Briefly discuss how parts (a) and (b) correspond to behaviors when an external electric field is applied to a semiconductor.

Question: The magnetic field at the surface of a long wire radius R and carrying a current I is 渭0I2蟺R . How large acurrent could a 0.1 mm diameter niobium wire carry without exceeding its 0.2 T critical field?

Why does the small current flowing through a reverse biased diode depends much more strongly on temperature than on the applied (reverse) voltage?

For the four kinds of crystal binding 鈥� covalent, ionic, metallic, and molecular- how would the destiny of valence electrons vary throughout the solid? Would it be constant, centered on the atoms, or largest between the atoms? Or would it alternate, with a net charge density positive at one atom and negative at the next?

Explain the dependence of conductivity on temperature for conductors and for semiconductors.
