Semiconductors: Band Gap of Germanium and the Hall Effect Friday‚ Section 006 TA: Yilikal Ayino John Greavu with Daniel Erickson & Kevin Haar February 14‚ 2014 PreLab With the new understanding of quantum mechanics and solid-state physics in the 1930’s came the development of semiconductors. Semiconductors are materials such as silicon and germanium in which the current density is non-zero‚ unlike an insulator‚ yet still several magnitudes smaller than that of a conductor. There exists a significant

much power it must supply‚ whether it will be powered by AC or DC and what reliability is required. The essentials of an electric motor are the supply of electrical energy to a coil in a magnetic field causing it to rotate. The generation of electrical power requires relative motion between a magnetic field and a conductor. In a generator‚ mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy while the opposite occurs in an electric motor. The electricity produced by most generators is in

The electron charge to mass ratio is a widely known in the scientific field as a value that measures the charge of a standard electron versus its mass. Once the electron is accelerated by a voltage difference the potential energy is then converted to kinetic energy. When an electron is placed into a magnetic field it experiences a force that is perpendicular to the velocity of the electron and the magnetic field. This causes the electron to move in the pattern of a circle‚ and centripetal force is

The field of ultrasonic seems to be changing that driving force. DRAWBACKS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC MOTORS Electromagnetic motors rely on the attraction and repulsion of magnetic fields for their operation. Without good noise suppression circuitry‚ their noisy electrical operation will affect the electronic components inside it. Surges

What happens to the distribution of magnetic flux lines when the iron ring was placed in between the U-magnets? Magnetic Flux‚ by definition‚ is the measure of the quantity or the strength of the magnetic force in a given area‚ whether a closed or an open area. When the iron ring is placed in between the U-magnets‚ there has been a region by which has been enclosed‚ following the area of the iron ring. And according to Gauss’s Law for magnetism‚ the total magnetic flux on a closed area is equal to

Thus‚ an increase in magnetic field strength will cause an increase in the force on the wire and a decrease in magnetic field strength will cause a decrease in force on the wire. The

minerals such as lodestone. Although ferromagnetic (and ferrimagnetic) materials are the only ones attracted to a magnet strongly enough to be commonly considered magnetic‚ all other substances respond weakly to a magnetic field‚ by one of several other types of magnetism. Every magnet has two poles. This is where most of its magnetic strength is most powerful. These poles are called north and south or north-seeking and south seeking poles. The poles are called this as when a magnet is hung or
