Q5. Group I lists four types of p − n junction diodes. Match each device in Group I with one of the option in Group II to indicate the bias condition of the device in its normal mode of operation. Group - I Group-II (P) Zener Diode (1) Forward bias (Q) Solar cell (2) Reverse bias (R) LASER diode (S) Avalanche Photodiode
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

Zener diode and Avalanche diode works in the reverse bias and laser diode works in forward bias. In solar cell diode works in forward bias but photo current is in reverse direction. Thus Zener diode : Reverse Bias Solar Cell : Forward Bias Laser Diode : Forward Bias Avalanche Photo diode : Reverse Bias

Q8.
Group I lists four different semiconductor devices. match each device in Group I with its charactecteristic property in Group II
Group-I                                      Group-II
(P) BJT                                       (1) Population iniversion
(Q) MOS capacitor                     (2) Pinch-off voltage
(R) LASER diode                        (3) Early effect
(S) JFET                                     (4) Flat-band voltage
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

In BJT as the B-C reverse bias voltage increases, the B-C space charge region width increases which xB (i.e. neutral base width) > A change in neutral base width will change the collector current. A reduction in base width will causes the gradient in minority carrier concentration to increase, which in turn causes an increased in the diffusion current. This effect si known as base modulation as early effect.
In JFET the gate to source voltage that must be applied to achieve pinch off voltage is described as pinch off voltage and is also called as turn voltage or threshold voltage.
In LASER population inversion occurs on the condition when concentration of electrons in one energy state is greater than that in lower energy state, i.e. a non equilibrium condition.
In MOS capacitor, flat band voltage is the gate voltage that must be applied to create flat ban condition in which there is no space charge region in semiconductor under oxide. 
Therefore
                 BJT : Early effect
MOS capacitor : Flat-band voltage
  LASER diode : Population inversion
               JFET : Pinch-off voltage
