Question

Distinguish between n-type and p-type semiconductor on the basis of energy band diagrams. Compare their conductivities at absolute zero temperature and at room temperature

Answer 1

Numerical methods: Solution of algebraic and transcendental equations of one variable by bisection, Regula-Falsi and Newton-Raphson methods; solution of system of linear equations by Gaussian elimination and Gauss-Jordan (direct), Gauss-Seidel(iterative) methods. Newton’s (forward and backward) interpolation, Lagrange’s interpolation.Numerical integration: Trapezoidal rule, Simpson’s rules, Gaussian quadrature formula.
