Physics - ICS Part 2 Physics Chapter 18 Short Questions Preparation

Question # 1

What is the net charge on a n-type or p-type substance?

Ans 1: Since they are electrically neutral substance,So the net charge on them is zero.

Question # 2

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 # 3

How the normal operation of transistor is achieved?

Ans 1: For the normal operation the base emitter junction of transistor is forward biased and collector base junction is reverse.
In a common emitter amplifier ,input signal is applied between base and emitter and output signal is taken across collector and emitter,Similarly emitter base junction is forward biased and collector base junction is reverse biased.

Question # 4

Define logic system and logic gates.

Ans 1: A digital system deals with the quantities or variable which have only two discrete values or state.
The electronic circuits which implements the various logic operation are known as logic gates.

Question # 5

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 # 6

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 # 7

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 # 8

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 # 9

Why is the photodiode operated in reverse biased state?

Ans 1: Photodiode is used for the detection of light.So it is used in reverse biased state.Reverse current increase with the intensity of incident light.When no light incidents,then reverse current will be negligible.

Question # 10

Give two applications of gated in control system.

Ans 1: Gates are widely used in control system.They control the function of the system by monitoring some physical parameters such as temperature ,pressure or some other physical quantity of the system,Sensors are required to operate gates.

Question # 1

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 # 2

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 # 3

What is the net charge on a n-type or p-type substance?

Ans 1: Since they are electrically neutral substance,So the net charge on them is zero.

Question # 4

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.

Question # 5

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 # 6

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.

The electronic circuits which implements the various logic operation are known as logic gates.

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

Why the biasing requirement of the junction of a transistor for its normal operation?

Ans 1: For the normal operation the base emitter junction of transistor is forward biased and collector base junction is reverse biased.

Question # 10

Give any two characteristics of operational amplifier.

Ans 1: Input Resistance: It is the resistance between the + and - input of the amplifier,Whose value is of the order of several mega ohms.
Output resistance:It is the resistance between the output terminal and ground.Its value is only a few ohms.
