Question

When the diode is forward biased, it is found that beyond forward voltage V = Vk, called knee voltage, the conductivity is very high. At this value of battery biasing for p-n junction, the potential barrier is overcome and the current increases rapidly with increase in forward voltage.

When the diode is reverse biased, the reverse bias voltage produces a very small current about a few microamperes which almost remains constant with bias. This small current is reverse saturation current.

Answer

  1. (c)

Explanation:

The p-n diode is forward biased when p-side is at a higher potential than n-side.

  1. (c) Non-ohmic device.
  2. (d) 10-6

Explanation:

Forward bias resistance,

$\text{R}_1=\frac{\triangle\text{V}}{\triangle\text{I}}=\frac{0.8-0.7}{(20-10)\times10^{-6}}$

$=\frac{0.1}{10\times10^{-3}}=10$

Reverse bias resistance, $\text{R}_2=\frac{10}{1\times10^{-6}}=10^7$

Then, the ratio of forward to reverse bias resistance,

$\frac{\text{R}_1}{\text{R}_2}=\frac{10}{10^7}=10^{-6}$

  1. (d) 

Explanation:

In p-region the direction of conventional current is same as flow of holes. In n-region, the direction of conventional current is opposite to the flow of electrons.

  1. (c) 0.01A

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Explanation:

In the given circuit the junction diode is forward biased and offers zero resistance.

$\therefore$ The current, $\text{I}=\frac{\text{3V-1V}}{200\Omega}=\frac{\text{2V}}{200\Omega}=0.01\text{A}.$​​​​​​​

A transformer is an electrical device which is used for changing the a.c. voltages. It is based on the phenomenon of mutual induction i.e. whenever the amount of magnetic flux linked with a coil changes, an e.m.f. is induced in the neighbouring coil. For an ideal transformer, the resistances of the primary and secondary windings are negligible.

It can be shown that $\frac{\text{E}_\text{S}}{\text{E}_\text{P}}=\frac{\text{I}_\text{P}}{\text{I}_\text{S}}=\frac{\text{n}_\text{S}}{\text{n}_\text{P}}=\text{K}$

where the symbols have their standard meanings.

For a step up transformer, $\text{n}_\text{S} > \text{n}_\text{P}; \text{E}_\text{S} > \text{E}_\text{P}; \text{k} > \text{I}; \therefore \text{I}_\text{S} < \text{I}_\text{P}$

For a step down transformer, $\text{n}_\text{S} > \text{n}_\text{P}; \text{E}_\text{S} > \text{E}_\text{P}; \text{k} > \text{I};$

The above relations are on the assumptions that efficiency of transfonner is 100%.

lnfact, efficiency $\eta=\frac{\text{output power}}{\text{intput power }}=\frac{\text{E}_\text{S}\text{I}_\text{S}}{\text{E}_\text{P}\text{I}_\text{P}}$

When an insulator is placed in an external field, the dipoles become aligned. Induced surface charges on the insulator establish a polarization field $\vec{\text{E}}_\text{i}$ in its interior. The net field $\vec{\text{E}}$ in the insulator is the vector sum of $\vec{\text{E}}_0$ and $\vec{\text{E}}_\text{i}$ as shown in the figure.

On the application of external electric field, the effect of aligning the electric dipoles in the insulator is called polarisation, and the field $\vec{\text{E}}_\text{i}$ is known as the polarisation field.

The dipole moment per unit volume of the dielectric is known as polarisation $(\vec{\text{P}}).$ For linear isotropic dielectrics, $\vec{\text{P}}=\chi\vec{\text{E}},$ where $\chi=$ electrical susceptibility of the dielectric medium.
