Physics - ICS Part 2 Physics Chapter 18 Short Questions Preparation

Question # 1

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 # 2

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 # 3

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 # 4

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 # 5

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 # 1

What is semiconductor diode?

Ans 1: p-n junction is called semiconductor diode.

Question # 2

Define Open Loop gain of operational amplifier.

Ans 1: The ratio of output voltage to voltage difference between non -inverting and inverting inputs ,when there is no external connection between the input and output is called open loop gain of operational amplifier.

Question # 3

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 # 4

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 # 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

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 # 7

What do LED and LASER stand for?

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

Question # 8

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 # 9

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 # 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.

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 # 4

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 # 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

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 # 7

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 # 8

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 # 9

How is p-n junction formed?

Ans 1: A p-n junction is formed when a crystal of germanium or silicon is grown in such a way that is its one half is doped with a trivalent impurity and the other half with a pentavalent impurity.

Question # 10

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.
