Question: 6 -

Why does the mobility of electrons in a semiconductor decrease with increasing donor density ?

Options:
  1. Electrons are trapped by the donors

  2. Doping increases the effective mass of electrons

  3. More holes are generated so that the effective mobility decreases

  4. Doping decreases the relaxation time of electrons

  5. Answer:

    Doping decreases the relaxation time of electrons

    Solution:

    Doping decreases relaxation time of electron , so mobility decreases


Question: 7 -

A combination of two diodes connected in parallel when compared to a single diode can withstand

Options:
  1. A large leakage current

  2. Twice the value of maximum forward current

  3. Twice the value of cut-in voltage

  4. Twice the value of peak inverse voltage

  5. Answer:

    Twice the value of maximum forward current

    Solution:

    When two diodes connected in parallel , they can with stand twice the value of max forward current compared to single diode
