sq 4. Maximum surface resistance. Consider a square sheet of side L, thickness d, and electrical resistivity p. The resistance measured between opposite edges of the sheet is called the surface resistance: R = pL/ Ld = p/d, which is independent of the area of the sheet. (R is called the resistance per square and is expected in ohms per square, because p/d has the dimensions of ohms.) If we express p by p=m/ne²t, then Rq=m/ndet. Suppose now that the minimum value of the collision time is determined by scattering from surfaces of the sheet, so that Td/v, where v is the Fermi velocity. Thus the maximum surface resistivity is Rmvp/nd²e². Show for a monatomic metal sheet one atom thickness that sq Rħ/e² = 4.1k, where lkn is 10³ ohms. sq
An electron is fired at a speed v = 3.1 x 10° m/s and at an angle 0, = 36.8° between two parallel conducting plates as shown in the figure. If s 1.8 mm and the voltage difference between the plates is AV = 98.8 V, determine how close, w, the electron will get to the bottom plate. Put your answer in meters and include at 6 decimal places in your answer. Do not include units. The x-axis of the coordinate system is in the middle of the parallel plate capacitor. !!
In the last column in the data table, it says that it's about voltage(v) divided by current(A) is equal to ohms so V/A = ohms. So if it's V/A and if you divide them to get the slope it's (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) then shouldn't V be the y value and A be the x value? And can you also try to use a line of best bit instead of drawing the line through each dot?
An electron is fired at a speed vi = 4.3 × 106 m/s and at an angle θi = 39.7° between two parallel conducting plates as shown in the figure. If s = 1.7 mm and the voltage difference between the plates is ΔV = 99.8 V, determine how close, w, the electron will get to the bottom plate. Put your answer in meters and include at 6 decimal places in your answer. Do not include units. The x-axis of the coordinate system is in the middle of the parallel plate capacitor. Round your answer to 6 decimal places.

A student woants to identify the Resistivity of a conducting wire of unknown material. Resistivity is a property of a material that quantifies how strongly it conducts electric current, and it is formulated as, of p= R4 where R is the Resistance (ohms), A cross-sectional area (meters-squared) and I is the length (meters) of the wire. The student runs an experiment on a cylindrical wire of a length l of 2 centimeters and the cross- sectional area A of the wire is 6.1 centimeters-squared. The measurements of the Current is as below Dataset Voltage (Applied, Volts) Current (Measured, Amperes)
