negative charge of an electron. The mass of a

uparticle is 6.645 x 10 27 kg which is equal to
mass of helium nucleus. When two electrons
are emitted by a helium atom, a nucleus of
helium remains which has charge equal to that
of two electrons. Actually alpha (a:) panicle is a
nucleus of helium. Hence, it is also called as
doubly-ionised helium atom.
45. Since in forward biasing, negative of the
battery is connected to n-type side, energy of
the electrons in n-type region increases by an
amount eV where V is the voltage (forward)
applied by the battery. Due to this increase in
energy on n-type side, more electrons cross the
junction easily and potential barrier is reduced
to c (V8 - V). Thus, depletion layer of pn

39. A stationary charge produces electric field

only; a uniformly moving charge produces
localised eleCLromagnetic field.
An
accelerated
charge
produces
electromagnetic radiations. The reason is that
due to accelerated charges, magnetic field is
produced around accelerating charges. /v; the
velocity of charge changes, the magnetic field
produced due to it also changes with time. This
varying magnetic field produces the electric
field. The electric field so produced also
changes with time. These two varying fields
are mutually perpendicular and also
perpendil:ular to the direction of propagation
of wave and both the fields are if' same phase
and of same frequency. The frequLncy of these
fields is same as the frequency of oscillations of
the charged particle. The wave associated with
these oscillations is called the electromagnetic
wave.

then n-type semiconductor is fanned. Out of

In a jum:tion diode, when electron jumps to

conduction band from valence band due to
thermal agitation or any other circumstances,
then a vacancy is created in valence band
which has positive charge equal to charge of
electron in magnitude. This is called a hole.

Thus, holes in junction diode arc due to

missing electrons.

Note : The density of electrons in the conduction

band of p-type is proportional to the Boltzmann

43. When a piece of p-type material is in contact

with n-type material, then to bring Fenni level
in a line, electrons in conduction band on
11-type side travel across the junction and leave
the positively ionised impurity atoms

i.e., on moving down the group. However,

electron affinity of fluorine is unexpected low. It

cannot be explained by any simple mechanism.
It is probably due to small size of the atom. The
addition of an extra electron produces high
electron charge density in a relatively
compact 2p sub-shell resulting in strong
electron-electron repulsion. The repulsive
forces between electrons imply low electron
affinity. So, the correct order of electron affinity
for halogens is :
