A rod of pure silicon (resistivity = 2300 *m) is carrying a current. The electric field varies
Question:
A rod of pure silicon (resistivity = 2300 Ω*m) is carrying a current. The electric field varies sinusoidally with time according to E = E 0 sin ωt where E 0 = 0.410 V/m, ω = 2πf, f = 120 Hz.
Part A:
Find the magnitude of the maximum conduction current density in the wire.
jc= (A/m 2 )
Part B:
Assuming ∈ = ∈ 0 , find the maximum displacement current density in the wire, and compare with the result of part A.
jD= (A/m 2)
Part C:
At what frequency f would the maximum conduction and displacement densities become equal if ∈ = ∈ 0 (which is not actually the case)?
f = (Hz)
Part D:
At the frequency determined in part C, what is the relative phase of the conduction and displacement currents? Δφ= (degrees)
