Modern computer microchips contain millions of microscopic parts call transistors in a certain microchip the transistors are only 0.004 millimeters wide
a. on the microchip these transistors are placed side-by-side filling width of 2 mm how many transistors are there?
b. on this microchip there is an even smaller component called a capacitor. if the capacitors have a width of just 0.4 mm, how many would it take to fill up the 2mm space?
c. how many capacitors will fit in the width of one transistor?

A. 500 transistors

B. 50,000 capacitors

C. 100 capacitors

Step-by-step explanation:

The width of one transistor =0.004 mm

The total length filled by the 0.004 mm transistors is 2 mm.

A. In 2 mm there are: 2 mm/ 0.004 mm/transistor =500 transistors.

B. In 2 mm there are 2 mm/ 0.00004 mm/capacitor= 50,000 Capacitors.

C. The number of capacitors to fit in one transistor is given by the quotient between the width of a transistor and the width of  a capacitor.

=0.004 mm ÷0.00004 mm

=100 capacitors/transistor

Thus only 100 capacitors can fit into 1 transistor

step-by-step explanation:

1. perpendicular

2. parallel

3. perpendicular
