Aircraft can strike any city anywhere anytime, thanks to the aircraft carrier.

Stated another way: Prior to the carrier, airplanes NEEDED a land base to operate from. So if a country or city was too far away from any land, it would be virtually safe from air attack because NO AIRPLANE could reach it.

Thanks to the carrier; no land (island) is needed.

What is the total square footage of an aircraft carrier?

The total square footage of an aircraft carrier varies depending on the class and design. For example, the Nimitz-class aircraft carriers, such as the USS Nimitz, have a flight deck area of about 4.5 acres, which translates to approximately 196,000 square feet. Overall, including the internal spaces, the total area can exceed 1 million square feet.


What are minority carriers charge carriers?

Minority carriers are charge carriers in a semiconductor that are present in smaller quantities compared to majority carriers. In n-type semiconductors, minority carriers are holes, while in p-type semiconductors, they are electrons. These carriers play a crucial role in determining the electrical properties of semiconductors, particularly in processes like recombination and conduction. Their behavior is essential for the operation of devices such as diodes and transistors.


Which carriers are responsible for the reverse current flow?

The carriers responsible for reverse current flow in a semiconductor device, such as a diode, are typically minority charge carriers. In a p-n junction, for example, electrons (minority carriers in p-type material) and holes (minority carriers in n-type material) contribute to the reverse current when the diode is reverse-biased. This flow occurs due to thermal excitation, allowing these minority carriers to move across the junction and contribute to the reverse saturation current.


List of the us aircraft cariers?

A list of all of the US aircraft carriers would include the entire Nimitz class of vessels. These include the USS Nimitz, USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, USS Carl Vinson, USS Theodore Roosevelt, USS Abraham Lincoln, USS George Washington, USS John C. Stennis, USS Harry S. Truman, USS Ronald Reagan, and the USS George H.W. Bush.


Why p type semiconductor has majority charge carrier as hole?

The majority carrier in p-type semiconductor is the hole. Electron carriers in p-type semiconductor are minority carriers. Minority carriers in any semiconductor are produced mainly by heat. Only at absolute zero temperature would there be no minority carriers.
