...(2)I tried to integrate equation (1) from r2 to r1 but could not get equation(2).

Any suggesting.

Thanks

Looks like you should be able to get (2) from (1) with just algebraic manipulation. Did you try letting ##E = 0## in (1) when ##r = r_1##and then solving for ## V##?

However, I get that (2) should have a positive sign for the last term.

Can you define the symbols ##V_d## and ##V_o## that occur in (1) and (2)?

Thanks for your prompt respond.

Vo is the difference in potential across the junction
Vd is the depletion voltage
Also for equation (1) the second term has a positive sign.
After doing some algebra i end up with equation (2).

Thanks for the help.

Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
