K5-16: CARRIER CURRENT DENSITY MODEL

PURPOSE: To model the density of carriers crossing a plane.

DESCRIPTION: Red vectors represent electron flow, blue plate is surface of interest with its vector area represented by the blue arrow. Then:

dQ/dt = j . dA = j dA cos a = j dA(proj),

with j = n q v(drift).

SUGGESTIONS:

REFERENCES: (PIRA unknown.)

EQUIPMENT: Model.

SETUP TIME: None.
