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

Question # 2

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 # 3

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 # 4

Ans 1: LED stands for light emitting diode..
Laser stands for light amplification stimulated emission radiation .

Question # 7

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 # 8

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 # 9

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 # 10

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 # 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

Differentiate between the forward biased and the reserve biase.

Ans 1: When p side is positive and n-side is negative,the diode is forward biased.The width of depletion region reduces to which more current is allowed to flow across the junction.The forward resistance is few ohms.
Ans 2: When p side is negative and n side is positive,the diode is reserved biased.The width of depletion region is increased and a very small current flows across the junction due to flow of minority charges carriers,The resistance offered by the diode is several mega ohms.

Question # 3

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 # 4

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 # 5

What is the role of potential barrier in a diode?How it is formed in diode?

Ans 1: At the formation of pn-junction ,the free electrons in n-region because of their random motion diffuse into the p-region,.As a result of this diffusion a region is formed around the junction consisting of positive and negative ions,Due to charge on these ions a potential difference develops across the depletion region,This potential difference is called potential barrier,stops further diffusion of electron into the p-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.

Question # 7

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 # 8
