Question #2
In a p-n junction diode, the depletion region is created primarily due to:
A. Heating of the semiconductor material.
B. Drift of electrons under a strong electric field.
C. Diffusion of majority charge carriers across the junction.
D. Recombination of minority carriers.

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
When a p-type and an n-type semiconductor are joined, electrons from the n-side (majority carriers) diffuse across the junction to the p-side, and holes from the p-side diffuse to the n-side due to concentration gradients. They recombine near the junction, leaving behind immobile ionized atoms (positive donor ions on n-side, negative acceptor ions on p-side). This uncovered charge region is the depletion layer.

Question #3
Simple harmonic motion is characterized by:
A. Constant acceleration
B. Constant velocity
C. Acceleration proportional to displacement and directed opposite
D. Acceleration proportional to velocity

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
SHM definition: acceleration a ∝ -x (displacement), i.e., a = -ω²x. This restoring acceleration causes oscillatory motion. Constant acceleration implies uniformly accelerated motion (not oscillatory). Constant velocity implies no acceleration. Memory tip: 'SHM: a = -ω²x; force F = -kx (Hooke's law)'. This conceptual question tests fundamental SHM characteristics, frequently examined in competitive exams. Always link to examples: mass-spring system, simple pendulum (small angles), LC circuits.
