Question

An atmospheric pressure is 10⁶ dyne/cm². Find its value in SI unit system.

Answer

Dimension formula of pressure $=\left[ M ^1 L^{-1} T^{-2}\right]$
Here $a=1, b=-1, c=-2$
From the system converting equation :
$
n_2=n_1\left[\frac{M_1}{M_2}\right]^{a}\left[\frac{L_1}{L_2}\right]^{b}\left[\frac{T_1}{T_2}\right]^{c}
$
It is given,
CGS System
$M _1=1 gm$
$L _1=1 cm$
$T _1=1 s$.
MKS System
$M _2=1 kg$
$L _2=1 m$
$T _2=1 s$
$n_1=10^6$ dyne $/ cm ^2 \quad n_2=?$
$\begin{aligned} n_2 & =10^6\left[\frac{1 g}{1 kg}\right]^1\left[\frac{1 cm}{1 m}\right]^{-1}\left[\frac{1 s}{1 s}\right]^{-2} \\ & =10^6\left[\frac{1 g}{10^3 g}\right]^1\left[\frac{1 cm}{10^2 cm}\right]^{-1}\left[\frac{1 s}{1 s}\right]^{-2} \\ & =10^6\left[\frac{1 g}{10^3 g}\right]^1\left[\frac{10^2 cm}{1 cm}\right]^1 \\ & =\frac{10^6 \times 10^2}{10^3}=10^5\end{aligned}$
Hence atmospheric pressure in SI units $=10^5 N / m ^2$.

The product of the hole concentration and the conduction electron concentration turns out to be independent of the amount of any impurity doped. The concentration of conduction electrons in germanium is $6 \times 10^{19}$ per cubic metre.

Find the concentration of the holes in the doped germanium.
