With carrier density n, area A and length l, the number of carriers is:
An plus l plus A
Bn over l over A
Cn minus l minus A
Dn times l times A
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. n times l times A
1. The volume of the rod is its length times its area.
2. Multiplying by the number density gives the count.
3. So the total number of carriers is n l A.
