Answer
Intrinsic semiconductor: Pure semi-conductor having no impurities or negligible impurities.Conversion into –
- P-type – by doping with small amount of trivalent impurities.
- N-type- by doping with small amount of pentavalent impurity.

The magnifying power of a converging lens used as a simple microscope is $\Big(1+\frac{\text{D}}{\text{f}}\Big).$ A compound microscope is a combination of two such converging lenses. Why don't we have magnifying power $\Big(1+\frac{\text{D}}{\text{f}_\text{o}}\Big) \Big(1+\frac{\text{D}}{\text{f}_\text{o}}\Big)?$ In other words, why can the objective not be treated as a simple microscope but the eyepiece can?
→A metallic rod of length ‘l’ is rotated with a frequency v with one end hinged at the centre and the other end at the circumference of a circular metallic ring of radius r, about an axis passing through the centre and perpendicular to the plane of the rinig. A constant uniform magnetic field B parallel to the axis is present every where. Using Lorentz force, explain how emf is induced between the centre and the metallic ring and hence obtain the expression for it.
