In intrinsic semiconductors, the number of free electrons is equal to the number of mobile holes.
Assertion (A): In a parallel plate capacitor having area of plate 1 m2 and plate separation 1 m, the capacitance C and resistance R are given by C = ∈0∈'r and R = where ω is frequency, ∈r' and ∈r" are real and imaginary parts of dielectric constant. Reason (R): The imaginary part of electric constant is responsible for dielectric losses.
Assertion (A): When an electron is revolving in its orbit and magnetic field is also present, the angular frequency of electron will be affected by the magnetic field. Reason (R): In the case of electron revolving in its orbit in the presence of magnetic field, the orbital magnetic dipole moment is not affected by the presence of magnetic field.
When subjected to alternating stresses, an insulating material is characterised by complex dielectric constant ∈'r - j∈"r . In such materials, the dielectric losses under alternating stress is proportional
Assertion (A): Relaxation time and mean time between collisions are equal when scattering is isotropic. Reason (R): Mean free path of an electron λ, velocity of electron v and mean time between collisions tc are related as λ = vTc.
Assertion (A): CO2 has no resultant dipole moment but CO has a dipole moment. Reason (R): The structure of CO2 is O = C = O.
Paramagnetic materials have permanent magnetic dipoles but interaction between neighbouring dipoles is negligible.
Assertion (A): Copper is a monoatomic solid. Reason (R): In a metal the valence electrons belong to all atoms.
If q is charge on an electron, R is radius of electron orbit and ω is angular velocity of electron rotation, the magnetic dipole moment of electron in orbit is
The classes of solid dielectrics are
