                                    In a p-n junction diode, the current I can be expressed as I=I_(0)"exp"((eV)/(2k_(B)T)-1) where I_(0) is called the reverse saturation current, V is the voltage across the diode and is positive for forward bias and negative for reverse bias, and I is the current through the diode, k_(B) is the Boltzmann constant (8.6xx10^(-5)eV//K) and T is the absolute temperature. If for a given diode I_(0)=5xx10^(-12)A and T = 300 K, then (a) What will be the forward current at a forward voltage of 0.6 V ? (b) What will be the increase in the current if the voltage across the diode is increased to 0.7 V ? (c ) What is the dynamic resistance? (d) What will be the current if reverse bias voltage changes from 1 V to 2 V ? |

                                    Three charges q each are at vertices of equilateral triangle of side r? How much charge should be placed at the centroid so that the system remains in equilibrium? | 
                            
                                   Answer» Solution :  Due to THREE identical charges kept at three corners of a triangle, null point (E = 0) is formed at centre 0. Let .Q. be the charge placed at centre of triangle then the charge .Q is in equilibrium. For system to be in equilibrium the force on each charge must be zero. Consider the forces on charge at C. Let `F_A, F_B and F_0` . be the forces on the charge at .C. due to the charges at A, B and .O. respectively. `F_A = F_B = 1/(4 pi epsilon_0) (q^2)/(a^2)` Angle between `vec(F_A)`and `vec(F_B) `is `60^@` The magnitude of RESULTANT of `vec(F_A) and vec(F_B) = sqrt(3) XX 1/(4 pi epsilon_0) (q^2)/(a^2)` The direction of resultant is along OC. The force on C due to "Q"is `vec(F_O) = 1/(4 pi epsilon_0) (Qq)/(((a)/(sqrt3))^2) = 3 xx 1/(4 pi epsilon_0) (Qq)/(a^2) ` (along CO) The resultant force on charge at C is Zero. `vec(F) = vec(F_A) + vec(F_B) + vec(F_O) = 0` `sqrt(3) 1/(4 pi epsilon_0) (q^(cancel(2)))/(cancel(r)^2) + (1)/(4 pi epsilon_0) (3Q cancel(q))/(cancel(r)^2) = 0 implies Q = - q/(sqrt(3))` Negative sign indicates that the force `vec(F_O)` . is opposite to the resultant of `vec(F_A)` and `vec(F_B)`.  |

                                    Phase space diagrams are useful tools in analysing all kond of dynamical problems. Theya re especially useful in studying the changes in motion as initial position and momentum are changed. Here we consider some simple dynamical system in one-dimelnsion. for such systeam, phase space is a plane in which position is plotted along horizontal axis and momentum is plotted along vertical axis. The phase space diagram is x(t) vs. p(t) curve in this plane. The arrow on the curve indicates the time flow. for example, the phase space diagram for a particle moving with constant velocity is a straight line as shown in the figure. We use the sign convention in which position or momentum. upwards (or to right) is positive and downwards (or to left) is negative. The phase space diagram for simple harmonic motion is a circle cen-tered at the origin.In the figure, the two circles represent the same oscillator but for different initial conditions, and E_(1) for E_(2) are the total mechanical energies respectively.

                                   Answer» Solution :`lambda = 589 nm = 589 xx 10^(-9) m`  For the film to have strong reflection, the reflected waves should INTERFERE constructively The least optical path difference introduced by the film should be `lambda//2` . The optical path difference between the waves reflected from the two surface of the film is 2pd. Thus, for strong reflection, 2ND = `lambda//2(N - 1)` Rewriting, ` d = (lambda)/(4mu)` Substituting, `d=(589xx10^(9))/(4xx1.25)=117.8xx10^(-9)` `d = 117.8 xx 10^(-9) = 117.8 nm` For the film to be anti - reflecting, the reflected rays should interfere destructively. The least optica path difference introduced by the film should be `lambda`. The optical path difference between the waves reflected from the surface of the film is 2pd. For strong reflection. `2mud = lambda (n = 1)`. Rewriting, `d = (lambda)/(2pi)` Substituting , `d=(589xx10^(9))/(2xx1.25)=235.6xx10^(-9)` `d = 235.6 xx 10^(-9) = 235.6 nm`  |
