6.
The conductivity of intrinsic semiconductor is given by
eni(μp - μn)
eni(μp + μn)
ni(μp + μn)
ni(μpμn)
Answer: Option
Explanation:

For intrinsic semiconductor,

Conductivity = (Electron charge) x (Number of charge carriers) x (Sum of mobilities of holes and electrons).

7.
The core of a coil has a length of 10 cm. The self inductance is 8 mH. If the core length is doubled, all other quantities remaining the same, the self inductance will be
32 mH
16 mH
8 mH
4 mH
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Inductance is inversely proportional to the core length.

8.
The minority carrier life time and diffusion constant in a semiconducting material are 100 μs and 100 cm2/s respectively. The diffusion length of carriers is
0.1 cm
0.01 cm
0.0141 cm
1 cm
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Diffusion length = sqrt(Carrier life time x Diffusion constant) = (100 x 10-6 x 100)0.5 = 0.1 cm.

9.

Assertion (A): Electronic and Ionic polarization in a polyatomic gas are independent of temperature.

Reason (R): The orientation polarization is independent of temperature.

Both A and R are true and R is correct explanation of A
Both A and R are true but R is not correct explanation of A
A is true but R is false
A is false but R is true
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Orientation polarization is inversely proportional to temperature.

10.
Two materials having temperature coefficients of 0.004 and 0.0004 respectively are joined in series. The overall temperature coefficient is likely to be
0.08
0.04
0.001
0.0001
Answer: Option
Explanation:

The overall temperature coefficient will be less than 0.004 and more than 0.0004.
