Q.NO ANSWERS MARKS

1 i) a) p type semiconductor b) n type semiconductor ½+ ½

ii) As concentration of electrons more than concentration of holes, the given 1

extrinsic semiconductor is n type.

2 1

or

3 i) Elemental semiconductor’s band gap such that electromagnetic emission are 1

in Infrared region.

ii) In the diagram, diode D1 is in forward bias and diode D2 is in reverse bias, So
1
current will flow through D1 and D2 will not allow flowing the current, So bulb B1
will glow and bulb B2 will not glow.

At any instant the voltage at A(input voltage of diode 1) and end B (input
voltage of diode 2) of the secondary with respect to the centre tap will be
out of phase. Suppose during a positive half cycle of Ac input, the end A
is positive and end B is negative with respect to the centre tap.
Then diode 1 gets forward biased (allows the flow of current) and diode 2 1½
gets reversed biased(does not allow the flow of current).
Hence the current flows through the diode 1 towards the centre tap along
the path AXY as shown in the above diagram. Similarly, during the
negative half cycle of Ac input the end B becomes positive and end A
becomes negative.
Hence diode 1 gets reversed biased and diode 2 gets forward biased
 resulting in the current to flow from diode 2 to the centre tap along the
path BXY as shown in the above diagram. As during both the half cycles
the input a.c. the current through the load resistor will flow from X to Y
and will keep on pulsating.

ii) Because of strong nuclear force which acts between p-p , p-n and n-n all it
always attractive.
Iii) Because protons are positively charged and repel one another 1
electrically. This repulsion becomes so great in nuclei with more than 10
protons or so that an excess of neutrons which produce only attractive
forces is required for stability
