Consider cylindrical shape rod of silicon with circular cross-section (resistivity of 3345 , the diameter of 2.53 cm and length of 32.7 cm). Consider a voltage of 1.25*103 V is applied. The temperature coefficient of silicon is -0.005 0C-1 (negative because Silicon is a semiconductor).
(a) Find the resistance of this rod at room temperature? (2 points)
(b) Find the electric field inside the silicon rod? (3 points)
(c) Find the energy dissipations in 3 min? (2 points)
(d) If the resistance of the rod is decreased by 32% after 3min of use then find the temperature change? (2 points)
