To calculate energy generation, two essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Electron Value (e) and Hole Value (h).

The formula for calculating energy generation:

ΔE = e + h

Where:

ΔE = Energy Generation
e = Electron Value
h = Hole Value

Given an example;
Find the energy generation when the electron value is 15 and the hole value is 5.

This implies that;

e = Electron Value = 15
h = Hole Value = 5

ΔE = e + h
That is, ΔE = 15 + 5
ΔE = 20

Therefore, the energy generation is 20.

Calculating the Electron Value when the Energy Generation and the Hole Value are Given

e = ΔE – h

Where:

e = Electron Value
ΔE = Energy Generation
h = Hole Value

Let’s solve an example;
Find the electron value when the energy generation is 22 and the hole value is 12.

This implies that;

ΔE = Energy Generation = 22
h = Hole Value = 12

e = ΔE – h
That is, e = 22 – 12
e = 10

Therefore, the electron value is 10.

Calculating the Hole Value when the Energy Generation and the Electron Value are Given

h = ΔE – e

Where:

h = Hole Value
ΔE = Energy Generation
e = Electron Value

Let’s solve an example;
Find the hole value when the energy generstion is 24 and the electron value is 18.

This implies that;

ΔE = Energy Generation = 24
e = Electron Value = 18

h = ΔE – e
So, h = 24 – 18
h = 6

Therefore, the hole value is 6.
