Poly To B.tech Electronics

This document discusses basic electronics engineering concepts through a series of multiple choice questions. It covers topics like semiconductor properties, doping, PN junctions, and diodes. Semiconductors are formed by covalent bonds and have a negative temperature coefficient of resistance. The most commonly used semiconductor is silicon, which generally has 4 valence electrons. Doping a semiconductor with a pentavalent impurity makes it n-type, adding free electrons. A trivalent impurity adds holes when doping. Current in a semiconductor is carried by both holes and free electrons. A PN junction acts as a unidirectional switch, having a depletion region with a shortage of ions when reverse biased.
