A potential of 5 V is applied across the faces of a pure germanium plate of area 2×10−4 m22 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~m}^2 and of thickness 1.2×10−3 m1.2 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~m}. Concentration of carriers in germanium at room temperature is 1.6×106 m−31.6 \times 10^6 \mathrm{~m}^{-3}, Mobility of electrons and holes are 0.4 m2 V−1 s−10.4 \mathrm{~m}^2 \mathrm{~V}^{-1} \mathrm{~s}^{-1} and 0.2 m2 V−1 s−10.2 \mathrm{~m}^2 \mathrm{~V}^{-1} \mathrm{~s}^{-1} respectively. The current produced in germanium plate at room temperature, is
