Practice Problem Set #6 MIAE 221 Fall 2023

Question 1
(a) Compute the electrical conductivity of a 5.1 mm diameter cylindrical silicon specimen 51
mm long in which a current of 0.1 A passes in an axial direction. A voltage of 12.5 V is
measured across two probes that are separated by 38 mm.
(b) Compute the resistance over the entire 51 mm of the specimen.

Question 2
Pure Germanium to which 5×1022 m-3 Sb atoms have been added is an extrinsic semiconductor
at room temperature, and virtually all the Sb atoms may be thought of as being ionized (i.e.,
one charge carrier exists for each Sb atom). (a) Is this material n-type or p-type? (b) Calculate
the electrical conductivity of this material, assuming electron and hole mobilities of 0.1 and
0.05 m2/V.s respectively.

Question 3

A 0.1 m (3.9 in.) rod of a metal elongates 0.2 mm (0.0079 in.) on heating from 20 to 100°C (68
to 212°F). Determine the value of the linear coefficient of thermal expansion for this material.

Question 4
(a) If a rod of 1025 steel 0.5m long is heated from 20 to 80°C while its ends are maintained
rigid, determine the type and magnitude of stress that develops. Assume that at 20°C the rod is
stress free. (b) What will be the stress magnitude if a rod 1 m long is used? (c) If the rod in part
(a) is cooled from 20 to -10°C, what type and magnitude of stress will result?

Question 5
A copper wire is stretched elastically with a stress of 70 MPa at 20°C. If the length is held
constant, to what temperature must the wire be changed to reduce the stress to 35 MPa?

Question 6
Explain why on a cold day, the metal door handle of an automobile feels colder to the touch
than a plastic steering wheel, even though both are at the same temperature.

Question 7
(a) Visible light having a wavelength of 6 × 10-7 m appears orange. Compute the frequency and
energy of a photon of this light.

(b) Zinc selenide (ZnSe) has a band gap of 2.58 eV. Over what range of wavelengths of
visible light is it transparent?
