What is the energy band gap of germanium?
.3 ev
Why cut in voltage of silicon is more than that of germanium?
the valence band energy is different in the two substances,so the cut in voltage is different.
What energy is stored in a stretched rubber band?
If you stretch a rubber band you have created tension, and therefore strain energy. If you stretch a rubber band you have created tension, and therefore strain energy. Latent energy. Potential energy
What kind of energy stored in rubber band?
Astretched rubber band has potential energy.
Does a rubber band have kinetic energy?
If you fling the rubber band then it has kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is when the energy is being used up. The rubber band would have to be in motion, or working in some sort of way,
What is the energy band gap of germanium?

Why silicon has more barrier potential than germanium?
Due to variation in energy gap between valance band and conduction band....
What is the band gap of germanium?

Why cut in voltage of silicon is more than that of germanium?
the valence band energy is different in the two substances,so the cut in voltage is different.
Why is the reverse saturation current of germanium diode more than silicon?
Germanium has four number of shells while Silicon has three number of shell. therefore for germanium less energy is required to move the electron from valence band to conduction band if compared to silicon. So at room temperature for germanium their are more number of electrons present in conduction bond hence more number of holes present in the valence energy band. Due to movement of holes reverse saturation current is produced. Their is more number of hole movement in germanium comparatively therefore reverse saturation current is more than silicon for germanium.

How many energy levels does germanium have?
5
Why is germanium chemically similar to silicon?
I'm no expert, but both germanium and silicon are located in the same group on the periodic table. Elements in the same group are chemically similar because they contain the same number of valence electrons.
What is the energy level for germanium?
The energy level for germanium is 4. You know its 4 because of the period its in for example: beryllium is in row 2 period 2 so the energy level is 2.
What is the first ionization energy of germanium?
937 Kilojoules/mole
When a potential is applied to pure germanium in what direction do the electrons and holes move?
in pure germanium there are effectively noconduction band electrons or holes, so they don't move at all.
Why the breakdown voltage of silicon is 0.7V whereas for germanium it is 0.3V?
because germanium has lower energy gap between conduction and valence bands
What is ionic band?
its a silicone band infused with germanium and tourmaline and these two elements give off negative ions which increase your balance, energy, strength, endurance and flexibility. It has worked greatly for me so far.
