Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

If a semiconductor has a drift current of 5 mA due to an electric field of 10 V/m and a mobility of 1500 cm²/(V·s), calculate the carrier concentration (n).

💡 Hint: Remember to convert units consistently.

Question 2

A semiconductor reaches equilibrium with both drift and diffusion currents. If the drift current is 3 mA and the diffusion current is 2 mA, what is the net current?

💡 Hint: If currents are in the opposite direction, remember to subtract.
