ls the motion of a charge across junction momentumconserving ? Why or why not ?

Answer»

SOLUTION :When ELECTRON moves normal to uniform electric field E, it has definite drift VELOCITY. Drift velocity is given by,
`v_(d) = (Ee tau)/(m) `
Also due to charge accumulate momentarily at JUNCTION it produce additional electric field which affect drift velocity. Hence, once charge leaves junction momentum is not conserved.
