Answer : Option CExplaination / Solution: No Explaination.
Q3.The impurity atoms with which pure silicon should be doped to make a p-type semiconductor are those of
Answer : Option AExplaination / Solution:
In a pure (intrinsic) Si or Ge semiconductor, each nucleus uses its four valence electrons to form four covalent bonds with its neighbors . Each ionic core, consisting of the nucleus and non-valent electrons, has a net charge of +4, and is surrounded by 4 valence electrons. Since there are no excess electrons or holes In this case, the number of electrons and holes present at any given time will always be equal. Note each +4 ion is surrounded by four electrons.
Now, if one of the atoms in the semiconductor lattice is replaced by an element with three valence electrons, such as a Group 3 element like Boron (B) or Gallium (Ga), the electron-hole balance will be changed.
This impurity will only be able to contribute three valence electrons to the lattice, therefore leaving one excess hole . Since holes will "accept" free electrons, a Group 3 impurity is also called an acceptor.
A semiconductor doped with an acceptor. An excess hole is now present. Because an acceptor donates excess holes, which are considered to be positively charged, a semiconductor that has been doped with an acceptor is called a p-type semiconductor.
Q5.The switch SW shown in the circuit is kept at position ‘1’ for a long duration.
At
t
= 0+, the switch is moved to position ‘2’. Assuming |Vo2| > |Vo1|, the voltage vc(t) across the capacitor is
Q6.If the dielectric constant and dielectric strength be denoted by K and X respectively, then a material suitable for use as a dielectric in a capacitor must have
Answer : Option DExplaination / Solution: The capacitance of a capacitor increases with increase in the value of dielectric constant. Cm=K C. Dielectric strength is the maximum electric field the material can withstand without breaking down. A high value of X and a high value of K is preferable for use in capacitors.
Q7.The magnetic field due to very long wire carrying current varies according to
Answer : Option CExplaination / Solution: The magnetic field at a point, which is at a distance r, from a very long wire carrying current is B=μ0I2πr B∝1r

0 V as digital 0 and 5 V as digital 1) and Vout is the output is
Answer : Option BExplaination / Solution:
So, this logic level o/p is showing the functionality of NOR-gate.
Q9.A capacitor is charged and then made to discharge through a resistance. The time constant is τ. In what time will the potential difference across the capacitor decreases by 10%?
Answer : Option DExplaination / Solution:
The capacitance of a capacitor is a constant.
C=qV
Also, V ∝ q
The discharging equation for capacitor is
q=q0e−tτ
A similar equation can be written for potential difference. V=V0e−tτ
