Question 1
A dc voltage of 10 V is applied across an n-type silicon bar having a rectangular cross-section and a length of 1 cm as shown in figure. The donor doping concentration ND and the mobility of electrons
are 1016 cm-3 and 1000 cm2V–1s–1, respectively. The average time (in μs) taken by the electrons to move from one end of the bar to other end is__________
