Q:

modern computer microchips contain millions of microscopic Parts call Transistors in a certain microchip the transistors are only 0.004 millimeters wideA.on the microchip these transistors are placed side-by-side filling width of 2 mm How many transistors are there?B.on this microchip there is an even smaller component called a capacitor. If the capacitors have a width of just 0.00004 mm, How many would it take to fill up the 2mm space?C.how many capacitors will fit in the width of one transistor?

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:A. 500 transistorsB. 50,000 capacitorsC. 100 capacitorsStep-by-step explanation:The width of one transistor =0.004 mmThe total length filled by the 0.004 mm transistors is 2 mm. A. In 2 mm there are: 2 mm/ 0.004 mm/transistor =500 transistors.B. In 2 mm there are 2 mm/ 0.00004 mm/capacitor= 50,000 Capacitors.C. The number of capacitors to fit in one transistor is given by the quotient between the width of a transistor and the width of  a capacitor.=0.004 mm ÷0.00004 mm=100 capacitors/transistorThus only 100 capacitors can fit into 1 transistor
