In p-n junction diode, near junction holes combine with electrons, and impurity ions form a barrier potential which opposes the recombination of electron-hole pairs. Value of barriers potential for Si is 0.7 volt and for Ge is 0.3 V. thus charge density at the junction becomes zero and an electric field is produced near junction. this region is called depletion layer. Thickness of depletion layer is of the order of 10^(-6) meter. in forward bias p terminal is connected with the positive terminal of cell and n is connected with negative terminal of cell and n is connected with negative terminal of cell. as forward voltage is increased, current increases exponentially. As forward voltage is increased barrier potential in p-n junction diode is A. increased B. Decreased C. remain same D. nothing can be said.

A dielectric slab is placed between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor. Its capacitance A. become zero B. remains the same C. decrease D. increase

Two long conductors, separated by a distance d carry current I_(1) and I_(2) in the same direction . They exert a force F on each other. Now the current in one of them is increased to two times and its direction is reversed . The distance is also increased to 3d . The new value of the force between them is

The true statements regarding refractive index of a material are (A) it depends on the nature of the material (B) it increases with temperature (C ) it decreases with increases in wavelength (D) it is inversely proportional to velocity of light in the medium

The reverse voltage at which the current increases enormously, in a p-n junction, is called

The drift current in a reverse-biased p-n junction increases in magnitude if the tempareture of the junction is increased. Explain this on the basis of creation of hole-electron pairs.

As the temperature is increased, the period of a pendulum a) Increases as its effective length increases even through its centre of mass still remains at the centre of the bob. b) decreases as its effective length increases even though its centre of mass still remains at the centre of the bob. c) Increases as its effective length increases due to shifting of centre of mass below the centre of the bob. d) decreases as its effective length remains same but the centre of mass shifts above the centre of the bob.
