An n-type silicon bar 0.1 cm long and $$100\;\mu m^2$$ in cross-sectional area has a majority
carrier concentration of $$5\times10^{20}/m^3$$ and the carrier mobility is $$0.13\;\;m^2/v-s\;$$ at
300oK. if the charge of an electron is 1.6×10-19 coulomb, then the resistance of the
bar is

The electron concentration in a sample of uniformly doped n-type silicon at 300oK varies linearly from $$10^{17}/cm^3$$ at x = 0 to $$6\times10^{16}/cm^3$$ at x = 2 $$\mu m$$. Assume a situation that electrons are supplied to keep this concentration gradient constant with time.If electronic charge is $$1.6\times10^{-19}\;coulomb$$ and the diffusion constant $$D_n=3\;cm^2/s$$, the current density in the silicon, if no electric field is present is
