The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the following is a non-metallic conductor, we will analyze the options provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Conductors**: - Conductors are materials that allow the flow of electric current. They can be metallic or non-metallic. Metallic conductors include metals like copper and aluminum, while non-metallic conductors include materials like semiconductors. 2. **Identifying the Options**: - The options given are: - Diode - Transistor - Solar Cell - All of the above 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Diode**: A diode is made from semiconductor materials, specifically from P-type and N-type semiconductors. Therefore, it is a non-metallic conductor. - **Transistor**: Similar to diodes, transistors are also made from semiconductor materials. They can be configured as PNP or NPN, which also makes them non-metallic conductors. - **Solar Cell**: A solar cell functions on the principle of semiconductor physics and is made from semiconductor materials as well. Thus, it is also a non-metallic conductor. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since all the options (diode, transistor, and solar cell) are made from semiconductor materials, they all qualify as non-metallic conductors. Therefore, the correct answer is **option number 4: All of the above**.
