Diagram 11.1

Diagram 11.2

(a) What is the meaning of doping?


[1 mark]

(b) Using Diagram 11.1 and Diagram 11.2 compare the connection of diode to the dry
cell, the lighting of bulbs and the reading of ammeter. Relate the lighting of bulbs with
the connection of diode to the dry cell to make a deduction regarding the relation
between the current flowing in the circuits and the connection of diode to the dry cell.
