Semiconducting Devices Question 61

Question: A metallic surface with work function of 2 eV, on heating to a temperature of 800 K gives an emission current of 1 mA. If another metallic surface having the same surface area, same emission constant but work function 4 eV is heated to a temperature of 1600 K, then the emission current will be

Options:

A) 1 mA

B) 2 mA

C) 4 mA

D) None of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

The emission current i=AT2Seφ/kT

For the two surfaces A1 = A2, S1 = S2, T1 = 800 K,

T2=1600K,φ1/T1=φ2/T2

Therefore , i2i1=(T2T1)2 = (2)2 = 4

Therefore $ i _{2}=4i _{1}=4mA.
