Q1. In a p-n junction diode, what is the dominant current flow mechanism when
charges are injected in other side across the barrier?

Q2. In a P-N Junction, the depletion region is reduced when _________

a) P side is connected to the negative side of the terminal
b) P side is connected to the positive side of the terminal
c) N side is connected to the positive side of the terminal
d) Never reduced

Q4. The resistance of the p-n junction diode decreases in forward biased.
True
False

Q5. In a PN junction the potential barrier is due to the charges on either side of
the junction, these charges are

   A. Majority carriers

   B. Minority carriers
   C. Both (a) and (b)
   D. Fixed donor and acceptor ions

Q6. In an unbiased PN junction

A. The junction current is due to minority carriers only

B. The junction current at equilibrium is zero as equal but opposite carriers are crossing
the junction
C. The junction current reduces with rise in temperature
D. The junction current at equilibrium is zero as charges do not cross the junction

Q7. Calculate the maximum electric field for a p-n junction when V bi=2V,
x n=100 um, x p=10 um? Remember V bi is area under the curve of the electric field vs.
position as shown below.
Q 8. Suppose the diode in previous question is reverse biased with a voltage of
6V. What is the total potential (total band bending)?

Q.9. Repeat Q7 when the diode is reverse biased with a voltage of 6V.
