Question
When a p-n junction is reverse-biased, the current becomes almost constant at $25\mu\text{A}.$ When it is forwardbiased at 200mV, a current of $75\mu\text{A}$ is obtained. Find the magnitude of diffusion current when the diode is,
  1. Unbiased.
  2. Reverse-biased at 200mV.
  3. Forward-biased at 200mV.

Answer

  1. $\text{i}_1=25\mu\text{A},\text{V}=200\text{mV},\text{i}_2=75\mu\text{A}$
When in unbiased condition drift current = diffusion current
$\therefore$ Diffusion current $=25\mu\text{A}.$
  1. On reverse biasing the diffusion current becomes ‘O’.
  2. On forward biasing the actual current be x.
x - Drift current = Forward biasing current
$\Rightarrow\text{x}-25\mu\text{A}=75\mu\text{A}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=(75+25)\mu\text{A}=100\mu\text{A}.$

A mass $m = 50g $ is dropped on a vertical spring of spring constant $500N/m$ from a height $h = 10\ cm$ as shown in figure. The mass sticks to the spring and executes simple harmonic oscillations after that. $A$ concave mirror of focal length $12\ cm$ facing the mass is fixed with its principal axis coinciding with the line of motion of the mass, its pole being at a distance of $30\ cm$ from the free end of the spring. Find the length in which the image of the mass oscillates.

A current i is passed through a silver strip of width d and area of cross-section A. The number of free electrons per unit volume is n.
  1. Find the drift velocity v of the electrons.
  2. If a magnetic field B exists in the region, as shown in the figure, what is the average magnetic force on the free electrons?
  3. Due to the magnetic force, the free electrons get accumulated on one side of the conductor along its length.
