Question 15 of 25

16. Why is the impurity element in the N-type semi-conductor referred to be having Donor atoms?

Its atoms have five electrons, four of which participate in forming a covalence bond and the fifth which is donated for electrical conductivity.

Because it it formed by doping pentavalent atom with extrinsic semi-conductor

None

Question 16 of 25

17. Which of the following statements is CORRECT about semiconductors?

They have an almost completely filled valance band and a conduction band which has almost no electron and are separated by a very small forbidden energy gap.

An increase in temperature increases the chance of an electron moving from the valence band to conduction band thus enabling electrical conductivity.

Total current flow in semi-conductors is therefore due to the flow of electrons and holes.

All of the above

Question 17 of 25

18. Which of the following statements is INCORRECT about reverse biasing?

The N-type region of P-N junction is connected to the positive terminal and the P-type region connected to the negative terminal of a cell/battery.

When the switch is ON, a reverse current flows which increases the potential barrier and depletion layer in the P-N junction.

A small current flows in the circuit due to flow of minority charge carriers.

A large amount of current flows in the circuit due to majority charge carriers

Question 18 of 25

19. Which of the following statements is CORRECT about forward biasing?

The P-type region of P-N junction is connected to the positive terminal and the N-type region connected to the negative terminal of a cell/battery.

When the switch is ON, current flows to reduce the potential barrier and depletion layer in the P-N junction.

A large forward current is allowed to flow in the circuit

All of the above

Question 19 of 25

20. Which of the following statements is CORRECT about Intrinsic semi-conductors?

It is an extremely pure semi-conductor

At room temperature it becomes a poor conductor but its conductivity increases as temperature increases.

The no. of electrons equals to the no. of holes

All of the above

Question 20 of 25

21. An impure semi-conductor is called?

Intrinsic semi-conductor

Extrinsic semi-conductor

Bi-polar semi-conductor

None

Question 21 of 25

22. Which of the following statement is INCORRECT about conductors?

In conductors the valence and conduction bands largely overlap

Electrons move freely from the partly filled valence band to the conduction band

An increase in temperature increases the overlap and hence lowers the electrical resistance of conductors

An increase in temperature increases the vibrations of the atoms and interferes with electron flow hence the resistance increases.

False

True

Maybe

None
