In circuit the upper diode junction is forward biased and the lower diode junction is
reverse biased. Thus there will be no conduction across lower diode junction. Now the
total resistance of circuit = 100 + 150 + 50 = 300Ω

Current in 100Ω = 300 = 0.02 A.

When a light (wavelength sufficient to break the covalent bond) falls on the junction, new
hole electron pairs are created. No. of produced electron hole pairs depend upon no. of
photons. So photo 𝑒.𝑚.𝑓. or current is proportional to intensity of light

5 𝑣𝑜𝑙𝑡 is low signal (0) and 10 𝑣𝑜𝑙𝑡 is high signal (1) and taking 5 𝜇-s as 1 unit, in a
negative logic, low signal (0) gives high output (1) and high signal (1) gives low output (0).
The output is therefore 1010010111

Potential difference across 𝐴 and 𝐵 = 103 × 5 × 103 = 10 V.
15 (b)
Due to forward bias at the emitter-base junction, the majority charge carrier electrons of
emitter get repelled from the negative terminal and move towards base. Some of these
electrons combine with the majority charge carrier holes present in the base and most of
the electrons reach the collector, crossing the collector-base junction. This implies that
collector current is always less than the emitter current due to the reason (b).
16 (a)
In 𝑃-type semi conductor, holes are majority charge carriers
17 (d)
n-p-n transistor is formed by combining two 𝑛-types crystals between which a thin 𝑝-type
crystal is there. Electrons are charge carriers within the n-p-n transistor whereas holes are
charge carriers within the p-n-p transistor. Since, electrons move more easily than holes,
hence n-p-n transistors are preferred compared to p-n-p.

At logic gate I, the Boolean expression is 𝐵 ∙ 𝐶 = 𝑌′
At logic gate II, the Boolean expression is 𝐴 + (𝐵 ∙ 𝐶) = 𝑌′′
At logic gate III, the Boolean expression is 𝐴 + (𝐵 ∙ 𝐶) = 𝑌

In circuit 𝐵, lower 𝑃-𝑁 junction diode is reverse biased. Hence, no current will flow but
upper diode is forward biased, so current can flow through it
𝑉 = 𝐼𝐵𝑅⇒8 = 𝐼𝐵 × 4⇒𝐼𝐵 = 2 𝐴
