Find the current produced at room temperature in a pure germanium plate of area 2×10−4m2 and thickness is 1.2×10−3 m when a potential of 5 V is applied across the faces. Concentration of carriers in germanium at room temperature is 1.6×106 m−3 . The mobilities of electrons and holes are 0.4m2v−1s−1 and 0.2m2v−1s−1 respectively . The heat generated in the plate in 100 second is
