Lorentz force equation

  Lorentz Force Equation   The force experienced by current element in magnetic field is given as sum of force due to electric field and magnetic field.   Force due to electric field: A region is said to be characterized by an electric field if a particle of charge q moving with a velocity v experiences a force Fe, independent of v. The force, Fe, is given by              F e = qE ---------------------------------------- (1.1)                    E is the electric field intensity. Measured in newtons per coulomb (N/C) or volts per meter. Where volt is a newton-meter per coulomb. The line integral of E between two points A and B in an electric field region gives voltage between A and B. It is the work per unit charge done by the field in the movement of the charge from A to B. Force due to magnetic field: If a charged particle experiences a force which depends on v, then the region is said to be characterized by a magnetic field. The force, Fm, is given by                     F m =...

P-N junction diode

A P-N junction diode is a basic diode. It is the combination of P-type and N-type semiconductor. symbol : P-N junction and potential barrier : A P-N junction is the basic building block of many semiconductor devices like diodes and transistors. P -n  junctions are formed by joining  n -type and  p -type semiconductor materials. Since the  n -type region has a high electron concentration and the  p -type a high hole concentration this difference in concentration creates density mismatch across junction which results to creation of potential barrier. The value of potential barrier v b  is 0.3 for germanium and 0.7 for silicon. Working : Forward bias: Application of positive charge at p-side pushes holes towards potential barrier and similarly negative charge at N-side pushes electrons towards barrier if input voltage is grater than potential barrier then electrons diffuse from the  n -type side to the p-type side. Similarly, holes flow by diffusion from the p-type side to the n-type side...
