Which are the types of carrier movements and how are they activated

Drift - As a result of an electric field

Diffusion - As a result of a carrier gradient, by other words a difference in the carrier level from one side to the other, usually when we have a p-n junction

In a particle accelerator, you accelerate an electron. Afterwards, you measure it's energy to be 350 keV. Tell my why you can't find the speed from this energy using your knowledge of classical mechanics.


A ball is thrown at speed u = 10.0 m/s at an angle of 30.0 degrees to the ground at height, s = 0. How far does the ball travel horizontally from its starting position? (Ignore air resistance and taking g = 9.81 m/s^2)


Why does water stay in the bucket if it is swung through a loop fast enough?


Is the excitation and de-excitation of an electron from the ground state (of an atom) due to the collision of another particle (e.g. electron) an elastic collision or an inelastic collision.
