Calculate the applied reverse-biased voltage at which the ideal reverse current in a pn junction diode at T 300 K reaches 90 percent of its reverse-saturation current value.

Amass of 1.5 kg of air at 120 kpa and 24°c is contained in a gas-tight, frictionless piston-cylinder device. the air is now compressed to a final pressure of 720 kpa. during the process, heat is transferred from the air such that the temperature inside the cylinder remains constant. calculate the boundary work input during this process.

Ahouse has the following electrical appliance usage (1) single 40w lamp used for 4 hours per day (2) single 60w fan used for 12 hours per day (3) single 200w refrigerator that runs 24 hours per day with compressor run 12 hours and off 12 hours find the solar power inverter size in watt with correction factor of 1.25.
