MCQ
In a junction diode, the holes are due to
  • A
    Protons
  • B
    Neutrons
  • C
    Extra electrons
  • Missing of electrons

Answer

Correct option: D.
Missing of electrons
d
(d) In a junction diode, the free electrons combine with a hole and gets converted into a valence electron. Now the thermal energy breaks this electron-hole pair in the depletion layer, the electron drifts to the $n-type$ region leaving behind the hole which drifts to the $p-type$ region.

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.

Assertion $A :$ For a simple microscope, the angular size of the object equals the angular size of the image.

Reason $R$ : Magnification is achieved as the small object can be kept much closer to the eye than $25\, cm$ and hence it subtends a large angle.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

A solid sphere of radius $R$ carries a charge $(Q+q)$ distributed uniformly over its volume. A very small point like piece of it of mass $m$ gets detached from the bottom of the sphere and falls down vertically under gravity. This piece carries charge $q.$ If it acquires a speed $v$ when it has fallen through a vertical height $y$ (see figure), then :
