What is the difference between p-n junction diode and extrinsic semiconductor?

Physics

Anna71 [15]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The difference between P-N junction diode and extrinsic semiconductor is the allowable direction of flow of current

The extrinsic semiconductor can allow current to flow in both directions while the P-N junction diode permits only a unidirectional flow of current

Explanation:

A semiconductor is a substance that has an intermediate conductivity between that of conductors and non conductors

Examples of semiconductors  include germanium and cadmium selenide

A semiconductor to which impurities has been added (an activity known as doping) is an extrinsic semiconductor

Based on the functioning of a semiconductor, doping result in the formation of one of two types of semiconductors including;

1) N-type semiconductor that has an extra electron and the charge carriers are electrons

2) P-type semiconductor that has one less (-e⁻) electron and holes are the charge carriers

An extrinsic semiconductor can conduct allow the flow of electricity in both ways

A P-N junction diode consists of both the P and N-type extrinsic semiconductors arranged such that current can flow in only one direction.

Therefore, the difference is that the extrinsic semiconductor can allow current flow in both directions while the P-N junction diode permits only a unidirectional flow of current.

What is the relationship between Newton's second law and gravitational acceleration?
beks73 [17]

Answer:

Correct answer:  Fg = m · g

Explanation:

Newton's second law states that if a resultant force is applied to an object, the object begins to move at an accelerated rate.

The formula that presents this is:

F = m · a  

this formula applies to an object moving on some surface

where m is the mass of the object and a the acceleration of the object

Let's take it now and watch the free fall:

The formula that presents this is:

Fg = m · g  

this formula applies to an object moving at free fall in vertical direction

Free fall is also an accelerated movement to which Newton's second law applies.

where m is the mass of the object and g the gravitation acceleration of the object . We also know that g is equal:

g = γ · Me / d² where Me is mass of the earth

Can anyone help me with 11 and 12 please

The 1st one is basically B because it will stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted on by an unbalanced force and the 2cd one is A because most of is transformed into thermos energy. hope this helps!
