In a Semiconductor the electrons are
fixed until they receive a little energy

Heating Silicon
We have seen that,
in silicon, heat
releases electrons
from their bonds
This creates
electron-hole pairs
which are then
available for
conduction
Intrinsic Conduction
If more heat is
applies the process
continues
More heat
More current
Less resistance
The silicon is acting
as a thermistor
Its resistance decreases
with temperature

Method
1.Set up the apparatus as shown.
2. Use the thermometer to note the
temperature of the glycerol and thermistor.
3. Record the resistance of the thermistor
using the ohmmeter.
4. Heat the beaker.
5. For each 10 C rise in temperature, record
the resistance and the temperature using the
ohmmeter and the thermometer.
6. Plot a graph of resistance against
temperature and join the points in a smooth,
continuous curve.

2003 Question 9
List two properties of the electron.
Name the Irishman who gave the electron
its name in the nineteenth century.
Give an expression for the force acting on
a charge q moving at a velocity v at right
angles to a magnetic field of flux density B.
An electron is emitted from the cathode
and accelerated through a potential
difference of 4kV in a cathode ray tube
(CRT) as shown in the diagram.
How much energy does the electron gain?
