Question
What are some features of $n-$type semiconductor?
✓
Answer
$1.$ These are materials doped with pentavalent impurity $($donors$)$ atoms.
$2.$ Electrical conduction in these materials is due to majority charge carriers i.e., electrons.
$3.$ The donor atom loses electrons and becomes positively charged ions.
$4.$ Number of free electrons is very large compared to the number of holes, $n_e >> n_h.$ Electrons are majority charge carriers.
$5.$ When energy is supplied externally, negatively charged free electrons $($majority charges carries$)$ and positively charged holes $($minority charges carries$)$ are available for conduction.

Figure below shows a block of mass $35\ kg$ resting on a table. The table is so rough that it offers a self adjusting resistive force $10 \%$ of the weight of the block for its sliding motion along the table. A $20\ kg$ wt load is attached to the block and is passed over a pulley to hang freely on the left side. On the right side there is a $2\ kg$ wt pan attached to the block and hung freely. Weights of $1\ kg$ wt each, can be added to the pan. Minimum how many and maximum how many such weights can be added into the pan so that the block does not slide along the table? [Ans: Min $15$, maximum $21$].
