I did R = pL/A, where p is the resistivity, L = 20 and A = 4 x 20 x d
But the answer is to do p x 20 x d/4 x d^2
Could anyone explain why they have done that please?
Also:
Show that the number density of free electrons within the block is about 2 × 10^28 m^–3. Assume that each phosphorus atom contributes one free electron.
n = 1/d^3, but surely thats only finding the number density in one atom?
