Physics - 12th Class Physics Chapter 7 Short Questions Preparation

Question # 1

How is the XOR gate so called?

Ans 1: One of its most commonly used applications is as a basic logic comparator which produce a logic "1" output when its two inputs bits are not equal.Because of the ,the XOR gate has an inequality status being known as an odd functions.

Question # 2

Define Depletion region?

Ans 1: A region in a semiconductor device,usually at the junction of p-type and n-type materials ,in which there is neither an excess of electrons nor of holes is called depletion region,It charge less region.

Question # 3

What is the potential barrier?What is the value of potential barrier of SI and Ge?

Ans 1: The potential difference across the depletion region which acts as a barrier to the flow of charge carriers is called potential barrier.The value of potential barrier for germanium is 0.3V and for silicon is 0.7 V.

Question # 4

What is OP-GATE?

Ans 1: OR-GATE implements the logic of OR operation.It has two or more inputs and a single output.Its output will be zero only when all the inputs are zero.

Question # 5

What is the effect of forward biased and reverse biasing of a diode on the width of depletion region?

Ans 1: When forward biased then the width of depletion region decreases and when reverse biased then the width of depletion region increase.

Question # 6

Give four application or uses of photodiode?

Ans 1: It is used as
1. Detection of both visible and invisible radiations.
2. Logic circuits
3. Automatic switching
4. Optical communication equipment

Question # 7

Why the base current is transistor is very small?

Ans 1: Base is very thin so a number of electrons attracted by collector and very few enter into the base.And base current is very small.

Question # 8

Explain why an ordinary Silicon diode does not emit light.

Ans 1: Ordinary silicon is opaque to light,So it does not emit visible light.It emits infrared light.To emit light ,gallium arsenide or gallium arsenide photodiode are used as semiconductor.

Question # 9

How does the motion of an electron in n type substance differ from the motion of holes in a p type substance?

Ans 1: more mobile and rapid than holes in p-type substance because electrons do not require holes for their motions but p-type substance because electrons do not require holes for their motion but hole depend upon electrons for their motion,Both move in opposite direction.

Question # 10

Why charge carriers are not present in the depletion region?

Ans 1: This is due to the fact when an electron from an n region diffuses into the p-region,it leaves behind a positive ion.When this electron recombines with the hole in the p-region,a negative ion is formed,So no charge carrier are available in this region,though it contains immobile positive and negative ions.

Question # 1

Define current of gain of a transistor

Ans 1: The ratio of output current to input current is called current gain of a transistor.The ratio of collector current to base current is called current gain of a transistor.

Question # 2

What is OP-GATE?

Ans 1: OR-GATE implements the logic of OR operation.It has two or more inputs and a single output.Its output will be zero only when all the inputs are zero.

Question # 3

What is AND Gate?

Ans 1: It is a logic gate that implements the truth table of AND operations.It has two or more input and single output.

Question # 7

The anode of a diode is 0.2V positive with respect to the cathode,It it forward biased?

Ans 1: Yes when anode is 0.2V positive with respect to cathode,it is forward biased.But the value of potential barrier for germanium is 0.3 V and for silicon is 0.7 V.Therefore there will be no conduction of current.

Question # 8

What is principle of vital ground?

Ans 1: In an operational amplifier ,if the non inverting terminal is grounded by the concept of virtual ground the inverting terminal is also at ground potential though there is no physical connection between the inverting terminal and the ground,This is the principle of virtual ground.

Question # 9

Write a note on LED.

Ans 1: Light emitting diode are made from the special semiconductor such as gallium arsenide and gallium arsenide phosphide in which the potential barrier between p and n side is such that when electrons combines with a hole during forward biased conduction,a photon of visible light is emitted.
LED are used in 7-segment display,small light sources etc.

Question # 10

How the current flows in forward and reverse biased diode?

Ans 1: In forward biasing,the external potential difference supplies energy to free electrons in n-region and holes in p-region to overcome the potential barrier,a current of the orderof a few milli-amperes begins to flow across the pn junction.
In reverse biasing ,no current flow due to the majority charge carrier,However a very small current of the order of of few micro amperes flow across the junction due to minority charge carriers.It is also known as reverse current or leakage current.
