Is internal resistance of a cell a defect or not?

no internal resistance of a cell cannot be considered to b as a defect because the resistance is so small as compared to the output we get from a cell this ristance can be neglected..


What is recombination center?

the point where in a semiconductor minority carrier is captured in a charged point defect and recombined with subsequently captured majority carrier.


Definition of 4-20 mA?

Previously when transmitters were configured for 0-20mA signal it was very difficult to identify an open circuit at 0mA,hence to supersede this defect it was decided to configure the transmitter as 4-20mA signal,so that if there is open signal it can be easily identified.


How do you isolate fault in a open resistor?

You need to first understand the way the resistor is "put together". There are various different types, and you didn't specify. For example, there are simple bulk resistors where everything in the electrical path lies on a straight line. In a wirewound resistor, the resistor element is wound in a spiral around a cylinder. Or you could be talking about a resistor in an Integrated Circuit (IC) or on a thick-film hybrid circuit. You could be talking about a small "chip" resistor that goes onto a PCB. You need to be more specific to get a more specific answer.The first thing you should determine is if the resistor is actually open, or if you simply have a bad connection to the resistor. Is it soldered to something? If so, use an ohmmeter equipped with pointed probes to check for connection on either side of both of the resistor's solder joints, if possible. If this is not possible (such as in the case of a surface mount "chip" resistor), you have to consider the solder joint as part of the resistor in the investigation.In fact, you should keep in mind that failure of a solder joint is MUCH more likely than simple failure of a resistor, unless the resistor has had too much current passed through it. Resistors tend to be mechanically more robust and reliable than solder joints.If the resistor was electrically overstressed (too much current, causing too much power dissipation/heat) the point of failure should be fairly obvious. There will be black, carbonized material at the failure point. You may need an optical microscope to see it, and it could be internal. There may be other external signs, such as bulging or discoloration that are not as obvious.If the resistor is not truly open but merely very high resistance, it may be possible to thermally image the fault location. Care must be taken to not pass through too much current and make the fault worse (unless you only care about the fault's location and not its cause).A high resolution x-ray can be used to image and find electrical opens in some types of resistors. It may also be possible to use more advanced tools such as Acoustic Tomagraphy, but that is rarely justified for using on a resistor that has become open. There are simpler, cheaper techniques that will give good results. The big advantages to x-ray and Acoustic Tomagraphy are that they can be done non-destructively.If it is a true electrical open, you generally expose the conductive element by stripping off the exterior chemically, or by cross-sectioning the device. Opens can then usually be spotted with simple optical microscopy. If the defect is too small, a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) can be used to image it. If one lead of the resistor is grounded, the un-grounded part of the resistor will quickly accumulate a charge and start to "glow" in the SEM, exposing the site of the open.Remember, if you couldn't verify that the solder connections to the resistor were OK, you have to consider them as possible points of failure in the analysis.

Why does AgBr show both Frenkel and Schottky defects?

The radius ratio for AgBr is intermediate. Thus it shows both frenkel and schottky defects. The major defect in AgBr is the Frenkel defect. It has a rocksalt structure i.e. CCP lattice of of Br with atoms of Ag occupying all octahedral holes.Ag moves from octahedral to tetrahedral sites causing only cations to precipitate. Schottky defect arise due to missing of ions from their lacttice point and frenkel arise when the mmissing ions occupy interstitial sites. in AgBr, ag+ ion is small in size and when removed from lacttice point they can occupy interstitial site and therefore show both frenkel and schottky defect. SCHOTTKY Defect in AgBr is exhibited due to precipitation of both Cations and Anions.


What is difference between shotkey defect and frankel defect?

1).schottky defect arises due to departue of ions (both cation and anion in equal ratio) from crystal lattice leaving holes that favour conductivity. The equal no of ions depart because to maintain the electrical neutrality of crystal. It was discovered by walter.H schottky in 1930. But in frenkel defect ions(cations) are missing from there normal lattice site and occupying an interstitial site between the lattice points. They dont depart from crystal lattice. Because no departure occure so crystal remain electrically neutral. It was discovered by Yakov frenkel in 1926. 2) schottky defect is only vacancy defect but frenkel defect is vacancy as well as interstitial defect. 3). Schottky defect decreases density and strength of the crystal. But frenkel defect doesnt affect density. 4).schottky defect is shown by the ionic solids having high coordination no and approx. same size of cation and anion(i.e r+ve/r-ve approaches to 1) While frenkel defect is shown by the compound having low coordination no and size of anion larger than cation(i.e r+ve/r-ve approches the minimum value).

Why AgBr shows both frenkel and schottky defect?

AgBr can exhibit both Frenkel and Schottky defects due to the presence of both cation (Ag+) and anion (Br-) vacancies in its crystal structure. Frenkel defect occurs when a cation occupies an interstitial site, while a Schottky defect involves the simultaneous absence of a cation and anion from their respective lattice sites. The relative sizes of the cation and anion in AgBr make both types of defects possible.


Why AgBr shows both frenkel and schotky defect?

When the both the cations and anions are absent from the crystal lattice it is called Schottky defect. This defect is shown when the anions and cations have comparable size. The Frenkel defect is shown by ionic molecules when their is a large difference in the size of anions and cations. The smaller anions are very much mobile and they occupy interstitial site. AgBr has cations and anions with comparable size and hence it shows Schottky defect but the Ag+ ion is very much mobile and it easily occupies interstitial place getting dislocated from its original place, that's why the ionic crystal AgBr shows both Schottky and Frenkel defects.


What are the differences between the Frenkel and Schottky defects?

A Schottky defect is when 2 oppositely charged ions leave their normal lattice positions forming 2 vacancies in the lattice structure. This contrasts to a Frenkel defect, where 1 ion simple moves from it's normal lattice position to an interstitial site (tetrahedral/octahedral hole).


Why does frenkel defect not change the density of AgCl crystals?

In the frenkel defect the ions are not removed from the crystal.so there will be no change in the crystal structure. that is there is no decrease in the no of ions.all the ions are inside the crystal.they are only dislocated.


Is there change in volume of a crystal having schottky defect?

Yes, a crystal with Schottky defects can have a change in volume due to the vacancies created by the missing atoms. This can lead to a decrease in the total volume of the crystal, impacting its overall density and properties.


Are the sizes of Na plus and cl- same in schottky defect?

Yes, Schottky defects are created when equal number of cations (Na+) and anions (Cl-) are missing from some ionic compound, since they have single charges (= equal, = 1 as absolute value)


What type of defect is produced when AgCl is doped with CdCl2?

When AgCl is doped with CdCl2, a Schottky defect is produced. This occurs when an equal number of cations and anions are missing from their lattice sites, leading to the formation of vacancies in the crystal structure.


Why does the schottky defect decrease the densit of a solid?

The defect forms when oppositely charged ions leave their lattice sites, creating vacancies. These vacancies are formed in stoichiometric units, to maintain an overall neutral charge in the ionic solid. The vacancies are then free to move about as their own entities. Normally these defects will lead to a decrease in the density of the crystal.

What type of stoichiometry defect is shown by KCl and why?

KCl shows Frenkel defect, where a cation is displaced from its lattice site into interstitial spaces. This occurs due to the large size difference between K+ and Cl- ions, making it easier for the smaller K+ ion to move into interstitial spaces without disturbing the overall charge balance of the crystal.
