3. At = 1014 3 the smallest percentage error occurred
4. The computed values for the hole mobility is far from the range of the expected values. The
measured resistance is too large despite all other assumptions being correct.
5. The error might be caused by not scratching the Si sample enough for the 2 to be depleted
on the surface thus increasing the resistance measured.
PART II

1. Using your fingers to cover the LDR introduces an increase in temperature. The resistivity in LDR
changes due to the change in carrier concentration. Through Direct Thermal Generation where
the thermal energy absorbed will provide the energy required to excite electrons from the
valence band to the conduction ban hence changing the carrier concentrations. Compared to
covering the LDR with electrical tape which does not introduces a factor of temperature change.

(Note: The dark shaded part of the graph represents when the light is off while the one is when
it is on)

4. No, the LDRs resistance varies faster when it changes from higher to a lower value or from
darker to a lighter environment

6. Yes. The increase and decrease to the LDRs conductance is almost symmetric to the time at
which the LED changes its state.

9. > ,however the difference is very small that it can be almost considered equal.
( )The graphs in 3 looks symmetric since the rise time is very small that in the graph it
might as well be interpreted as symmetrical.

10. If the distance between the LDR and LED is increased, the change in the conductance of the LDR
will become larger.
