The resistivity of a semiconductor can be modified by adding different amounts of impurities. A rod of semiconducting material of length L and cross-sectional area A lies along the x-axis between x=0 and x=L. The material obeys Ohm's law, and its resistivity varies along the rod according to ?(x)=?0exp(?x/L). The end of the rod at x=0 is at a potential V0 greater than the end at x=L.
