A N-type silicon sample of width 2×103m, thickness and length 3×102m  carries a current of 2.4mA, when the voltage is applied across the length of the sample.  The free electron density is 1022m-3. Select which one of them is incorrect

a
the current density is 20A/m2
b
the drift speed is 5cm/s
c
the time taken by electrons to travel the full length of the sample is 5sec
d
All options are incorrect

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Current density  = iA=2.4×10−32×10−3×3×10−2=40 A/m2 Drift speed  = Vd=iAne=401022×1.6×10−19=2.5×10−2m/s=2.5cm/sTime  =t=lVd=3×10−22.5×10−2=1.2 sec
