The length of germanium rod is 0.925 cm and its area of cross section is 1 mm2. If for germaniun ni= 2.5×1019 m-3,μh=0.19 m2/v-s,μe=0.39 m2/v-s, then the resistance of the rod is

  1. A 2.5 
  2. B 4.0 
  3. C 5.0 
  4. D 10.0 
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 4.0 

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Conductivity, σ=neμ ⇒σ=neμe+μh ⇒σ=2.5×1019×1.6×10-19×0.19+0.39 ⇒σ=40.58=2.32 Resistivity, ρ=1σ=12.32=0.431 Ω Resistance, R=ρLA=0.431×9.25×10-310-6 R=4 kΩ
