A semiconductor `X` is made by dopping a germanium crystal with arsenic `(Z=33)`. A scond semiconductor `Y` is made by dopping germanium with indium `(Z=49)`. The two are joined end to end and connected to a battery as shown. Which of the following statements is correct? A. X is P-type, Y is N-type and the junction is forward biasedB. X is N-type, Y is P-type and the junction is forward biasedC. X is P-type, Y is N-type and the junction is reverse biasedD. X is N-type, Y is P-type and the junction is reverse biased |

Answer» Correct Answer - D Arsenic has valence five and indium has valeance three. So X is N-type and Y is p-type. As positive terminal of battery is connected to N-type, and negative terminal to p-type of P-N junction, hence the junction is reverse biased. |
