TRANSISTOR It has three doped regions namely emitter, base and collector.
© G. Vijayendra, Prof. in Physics
Emitter: It is moderate in size and heavily doped. It supplies large number of majority charge carriers. Collector: It is larger in size compared to emitter and is moderately doped. Base: It is the Central region which is very thin and lightly doped.
Transistor as a switch and amplifier
© G. Vijayendra, Prof. in Physics
Transistor as an oscillator An oscillator is an electronic device which produces sustained electrical oscillations (ac signal) of constant frequency and amplitude without any external input.
Principle of a transistor oscillator An oscillator may be regarded as a self-sustained transistor amplifier with a positive feedback. (In-phase feedback).

1. Electrical conductivity in a semiconductor is due to 1. electrons only 2. free electrons and ion cores. 3. free electrons and holes 4. ion cores and holes
© G. Vijayendra, Prof. in Physics
Answer: 3 both free electrons and holes are charge carriers
© G. Vijayendra, Prof. in Physics
Answer: 1 intrinsically generated carriers are e-h pairs. Hence their numbers are equal.
3. The movement of a hole is brought about by 1. the vacancy being filled by a free electron. 2. the vacancy being filled by a valence electron from a
neighbouring atom 3. the movement of an atomic core 4. the movement of a free electron in the valence band

3. The movement of a hole is brought about by 1. the vacancy being filled by a free electron. 2. the vacancy being filled by a valence electron from a
neighbouring atom 3. the movement of an atomic core 4. the movement of a free electron in the valence band
Answer: 2 hole moves opposite to the direction of electron motion.
4. A p-type semiconductor is 1. positively charged 2. negatively charged 3. electrically neutral 4. an insulator at room temperature
© G. Vijayendra, Prof. in Physics
Answer: 3 Any extrinsic semiconductor is electrically neutral because while doping, only atoms are added.
