Use band theory to explain the changes in the resistance of an intrinsic semiconductor as temper changes.

At low temperatures(0K), the conduction band is empty while the valence band if filled. As temperature increases, the electrons gain energy to go into the conduction band and leave positive holes in the v...

Two balls of identical size and shape are dropped from the same height. One ball has a mass of 50kg and the other has a mass of only 10kg. Why do they reach the ground at the same time?

The only forces acting on the balls are gravity (pulling down) and air resistance (pushing up). Since the balls are the same shape and size, the air resistance will be the same on both. Likewise, the grav...

Outline the principal features of a geostationary orbit and use them to explain one use of satellites in this type of orbit.

Geostationary orbits: -have a time period of 24 hours -have an angular speed equal to that of the Earth - maintain above a fixed position on the Earth's surface at all times. Therefore, they are very good...
