Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion \(A\) and the other is labelled as Reason \(R\) Assertion \(A:\) Diffusion current in a \(p-n\) junction is greater than the drift current in magnitude if the junction is forward biased. Reason \(R:\) Diffusion current in a \(p-n\) junction is from the \(n\)-side to the \(p\)-side if the junction is forward biased. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below

Pick an option to check your answer.

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(A\) is correct but \(R\) is not correct

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In forward biased condition, diffusion of majority charge carriers takes place from \(p\)-side to \(n\)-side which constitute the diffusion current.

An object of mass ' \(m\) ' initially at rest on a smooth horizontal plane starts moving under the action of force \(F=2 N\). In the process of its linear motion, the angle \(\theta\) (as shown in figure) between the direction of force and horizontal varies as \(\theta= kx\), where \(k\) is a constant and \(x\) is the distance covered by the object from its initial position. The expression of kinetic energy of the object will be \(E =\frac{ n }{ k } \sin \theta\). The value of \(n\) is \(.....\)

In Bohr's atomic model, the electron is assumed to revolve in a circular orbit of radius \(0.5 \times 10^{-10}\,m\). If the speed of electron is \(2.2 \times 10^{6} \;{m} / {s}\), then the current associated with the electron will be \(....\,\times 10^{-2} \;{mA}\). [Take \(\pi\) as \(\left.\frac{22}{7}\right]\)

A bob of mass \('m'\) suspended by a thread of length \(l\) undergoes simple harmonic oscillations with time period \({T}\). If the bob is immersed in a liquid that has density \(\frac{1}{4}\) times that of the bob and the length of the thread is increased by \(1 / 3^{\text {rd }}\) of the original length, then the time period of the simple harmonic oscillations will be :-

Let a total charge \(2Q\) be distributed in a sphere of radius \(R\), with the charge density given by \(\rho(r) = kr\), where \(r\) is the distance from the centre. Two charges \(A\) and \(B\), of \(-Q\) each, are placed on diametrically opposite points, at equal distance, \(a\), from the centre. If \(A\) and \(B\) do not experience any force, then

Two coherent sources of sound, \(S_{1}\) and \(S_{2}\) produce sound waves of the same wavelength, \(\lambda=1\, m ,\) in phase. \(S_{1}\) and \(S_{2}\) are placed \(1.5\, m\) apart (see fig.) A listener, located at \(L,\) directly in front of \(S_{2}\) finds that the intensity is at a minimum when he is \(2\,m\) away from \(S _{2}\). The listener moves away from \(S _{1},\) keeping his distance from \(S_{2}\) fixed. The adjacent maximum of intensity is observed when the listener is at a distance \(d\) from \(S\)\(_{1}\). Then, \(d\) is\(......m\)

A closed organ and an open organ tube are filled by two different gases having same bulk modulus but different densities \(\rho_1\) and \(\rho_{2^{\prime}}\), respectively. The frequency of \(9^{\text {th }}\) harmonic of closed tube is identical with \(4^{\text {th }}\) harmonic of open tube. If the length of the closed tube is 10 cm and the density ratio of the gases is \(\rho_1: \rho_2=1: 16\), then the length of the open tube is :
