3. Consider the following concerning use of single electron tunneling devices at room temperature:

a. The charging energy needs to be larger than the thermal energy (kT). Calculate the minimum capacitance needed to meet this criteria for a single electron.

b. Based on this, calculate the area of a capacitor with this capacitance assuming a that the relative dielectric constant is 10 and the distance between capacitor plates (d) is 1 nm.

c. Given current lithographic techniques (may require a bit of research on your part) would it be realistic to make capacitors this small for room temperature operation of SETs?

If we want to only use frozen water (ice) and room temperature water (room temperature water of four times the mass of the ice), write out the various forms of heat transfer that will occur between frozen water and room temperature water, when the come into contact. Hint: There will be one term of heat transfer from the room temperature water, and three terms of heat transfer in the ice/cold water.

2. Temperature and Illumination Alone in your dim, unheated room, you light a single candle rather than curse the darkness. Depressed with the situation, you walk directly away from the candle, sighing. The temperature (in degrees Fahrenheit) and illumination (in % of one candle power) decrease as your distance (in feet) from the candle increases. In fact, you have tables showing this information. (tables are in the text). You are cold when the temperature is below 40◦. You are in...
