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

storms or instrument error‚ believers explain the incidences as the acts of evil extraterrestrials‚ residue crystals from Atlantis‚ magnetic fields‚ or methane gas. The easiest way that the Bermuda Triangle can be disproven is by investigating the assumptions of the believers. Some of the explanations for the Bermuda Triangle seem to be scientific in nature. The magnetic disturbance and methane gas explanations both use scientific language in order to assert the claims. The theories are not substantiated

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

Research Activity Constructivism and Student Misconceptions: Why Every Teacher Needs to Know About Them The article I chose to do this research activity on was "Constructivism and Student Misconceptions: Why Every Teacher Needs to Know About Them" by Audrey Sewell (Appendix A). I believe this article addresses a key idea that all teachers should be aware of‚ student misconceptions. For this paper I will start by summarizing the key ideas‚ then I will go on to discuss how they relate to the

technology. But these motors suffer from many drawbacks. 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 and spikes from these motors can cause disruption or even damage in nonmotor related items

susceptibility to an external magnetic field. They exhibit a strong attraction to magnetic fields and are able to retain their magnetic properties after the external field has been removed. Ferromagnetic materials have some unpaired electrons so their atoms have a net magnetic moment. They get their strong magnetic properties due to the presence of magnetic domains. In these domains‚ large numbers of atom’s moments (1012 to 1015) are aligned parallel so that the magnetic force within the domain is strong

Motors use the effect of forces on current-carrying conductors in magnetic fields Discuss the effect on the magnitude of the force on a current-carrying conductor of variations in: The strength of the magnetic field in which it is located • The magnitude of the force is proportional to the magnetic field strength. 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.
