Section: A
Very short answer question

Question. What is the order of energy gap in a conductor, semi conductor, and insulator?.
Answer: Conductor - no energy gap
Semi Conductor - It is of the order of 1 ev.
Insulator - 6 ev (or) more than 6 ev.

Question. Zener effect and avalanche effect are the two possible break down mechanisms that helps the external current . Why
Answer: Zener effect : The electric field in the depletion layer reach a point that it can break the covalent bonds and generate electron–hole pairs.
Avalanche breakdown : The minority carriers that across the depletion layer under the influence of the electric field gain sufficient kinetic energy to be able to break covalent bond in atoms which they collide.

Question. Light emission in semiconductor is the process of creation of a photon by means of the annihilation of an electron-hole pair. How can we create them. Give the necessary condition for the light emission?
Answer: hυ = Eeh greater than or equal to Eg.

Question. Why does the conductivity of a semi conductor change with the rise in temperature ?
Answer: When a semi conductor is heated more & more electrons get enough energy to jump across the forbidden energy gap from valence band to the conduction band, where they are free to conduct electricity. Thereby increasing the conductivity of a semi conductor.

Question. To achieve light amplification, We should provide positive feed back in LASER .Why?
Answer: Laser is not an amplifier but an oscillator! However, any oscillator is an amplifier with a positive feedback. To obtain lasing , it is necessary to achieve light amplification and provide positive optical feedback.

Question. Self supporting stimulated emission is the principle of a Laser .why?
Answer: Probability of stimulated emission is proportional to the density of excess electrons and holes , and to the density of photons. Under the normal circumstances it is negligible. Therefore if we provide a positive feedback , the stimulated emission can become self supporting.

Question. If the active layer in a P-N photo diode is the thick depletion layer then P-N Photodiode act very effective . Why?
Answer: In p-I-n photodiode ,due to thick i – layer the sensitivity improves dramatically.. Large reverse biases (< 100V for Si ) may be required.

cbse-class-12-physics-hots-conductor
Answer: In the given circuit emitter –base junction of N-P-N transistor is forward biased , with battery “B”. When “r” decreases IE increases . Because
IC = IE – IB .
Therefore IC will also increase. Hence bulb will glow with more brightness and voltmeter reading will increase.

SHORT ANSWER QUESTIONS [ 2-MARKS]

Question. Determine the current through resistance “R” in each circuit. Diodes D1 and D2 are identical and ideal. 
cbse-class-12-physics-hots-conductor
Answer: In circuit (i) Both D1 and D2 are forward baiased hence both will conduct current and resistance of each diode is “0”. .Therefore I = 3/15 = 0.2 A
(ii) Diode D1 is forward bias and D2 is reverse bias, therefore resistance D1 is “0” and resistance D2 is infinite. Hence D1 will conduct and D2 do not conduct .
No current flows in the circuit.

Question. Differentiate the electrical conductivity of both types of extrinsic semiconductors in terms of the energy band picture. 
Answer: 
cbse-class-12-physics-hots-conductor

Question. semiconductors obey OHM’S law for only low fields .Give reason?
Answer: The drift velocity of a charge carrier is proportional to electric E.
Therefore V = eET/m ie. V α E
But V cannot be increased indefinitely by increasing E . At high speed relaxation time (T) begins to decrease due to increase in collision frequency. S: so drift velocity saturates at thermal velocity (lOms-1). An electric field of 106 V/m causes saturation of drift velocity. Hence semi- conduction obey ohm’s law for low electrical field and above this field ( E < 106 V/m ) current becomes independent of potential.

Question. Relate input frequency and the output frequencies of a half wave rectifier and a full wave rectifier?
Answer: In half-wave rectification, we get pulsating output for half cycle only.
Therefore output ripple frequency is same as the input frequency. But in full wave rectification we get output for both half cycle. Hence the output at ripple frequency is full-wave rectification is double the input frequency.

Question. Emitter is heavily doped while collector is moderately doped . Why?
Answer: There are two main differences between emitter and collector of a transistor construction wise. First emitter is heavily doped while collector is moderately doped. Second the area of the collector is larger than the emitter.So output will be maximum.

Question. Key point for its proper functioning of base region in a transistor depends upon the thickness of the base Why ?
Answer: Base region in a transistor controls the current. The majority charge carriers supplied by the emitter do not combine in the same region due to its thin size and light doping and most of them pass on to the collector. This is the key point for its proper functioning.

Question. For faster action which transistor is used and why?
Answer: For faster action NPN Transistor is used .In an NPN transistor, current conduction is mainly by free electron ,whereas in PNP type transistor .it is mainly holes Since electron are more mobile than holes we prefer NPN for faster action as well as high conduction current.

When both Emitter and collector are reverse biased, no current flows through the transistor. This condition is known as saturation state.

Question. A germanium diode is preferred to a silicon one for rectifying small voltages. Explain why?
Answer: Because the energy gap for Ge ( Eg = 0.7 ev) is smaller than the energy gap for Si (Eg = 1.1ev ) . Moreover, the germanium diode is much more open to the danger of high temperature affect than silicon at high voltage.

SHORT ANSWER QUESTIONS [ 3-MARKS]

Question. Diode acts as rectifier Why? Differentiate between Half wave and full wave rectification?
Answer: Rectification — It is the process in which alternating current is converted to direct current.P-N junction Diode as Half wave rectifier 
cbse-class-12-physics-hots-conductor
As shown in the figure above the a.c input is applied across the primary of transformer. The secondary is connected to junction diode and load resistance (Rc) in series.
WORKING PRINCIPLE:- when positive half cycle or a.c takes place the diode is forward biased and output is obtained across the load resistance Rc. But when it negative half cycle diode is reverse biased and no current flows, hence there is no output across load resistance Rc. So only half is obtained as output.

Question. In the circuit, Vs=0.2V, V0 = -10 V. Find Vi & gain Av = V0 / Vi & Av ‘ = V0 / Vs ?
Answer: Vs=0.2 V, V0 = -10 V 
cbse-class-12-physics-hots-conductor
Vf = 1/99+1 V0 =(/100) x (-10) = -0.1V
Vi = Vs – Vf = 0.2-(-0.1)= 0.3V
Vi = Vs + Vf = 0.2+(-0.1)=0.1V
Therefore, gain
Av = V0 / Vi = -10/0.1 = -100
Av = V0 / Vs = -10/0.2= -50
