MCQ
The energy band gap is maximum in:
- AMetals
- BSuper conductors
- CInsulators
- DSemiconductors
✓
Answer
- Insulators
Explanation:
In insulators, the electrons are tightly bound with the nucleus hence, at room temperature thermal energy is not enough to push the electrons into conduction band and hence, no electrons are available for conduction.
The energy required for electron to escape out from orbit and to over come the energy gap is thus of the order of 6 eV, while for semiconductors and conductors it is (of the order of) 1 eV and 0 respectively.

The acceleration of moon with respect to earth is 0⋅0027ms-2 and the acceleration of an apple falling on earth's surface is about 10ms-2. Assume that the radius of the moon is one fourth of the earth's radius. If the moon is stopped for an instant and then released, it will fall towards the earth. The initial acceleration of the moon towards the earth will be:
- 10ms-2
- 0.0027ms-2
- 6.4ms-2
- 5.0ms-2
