Question 1

What happens when the n-type and p-type materials are joined?

  • They create an excess of electrons
  • They form a depletion region
  • They cause a voltage drop

💡 Hint: Focus on what is created at the junction.

Question 2

True or False: The depletion region contains free charge carriers.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: What does 'depletion' imply?

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a p-type material with a hole concentration of 10^15 cm^-3 and n-type material with electron concentration of 10^16 cm^-3, explain how the formation of the depletion region will change if the temperatures increase significantly. Consider carrier concentrations and recombination rates in your explanation.

💡 Hint: Think about the behavior of charge carriers with increased thermal energy.

Question 2

Design an experiment to measure the built-in potential of a PN junction diode. Discuss what equipment would be needed and how the experiment would demonstrate the concept of the depletion region.

💡 Hint: Focus on using I-V curves to extract meaningful information about voltages.
