What are the two molecules produced in light reaction?
Oxygen is produced as a by-product while energy carriers, NADPH and ATP, are produced for the next step in the process, the Calvin cycle.
Which carriers of energy are produced by Calvin cycle?
NADP+, ADP, and glucose
How is sulfer produced?
The majority of the sulfur produced today is obtained from underground deposits, usually found in conjunction with salt deposits, with a process known as the Frasch process.
What is the general term used to describe the process by which polymers are produced?
The Polymerization process .
Messenger RNA is produced during the process of?
Transcription
Why p type semiconductor has majority charge carrier as hole?
The majority carrier in p-type semiconductor is the hole. Electron carriers in p-type semiconductor are minority carriers. Minority carriers in any semiconductor are produced mainly by heat. Only at absolute zero temperature would there be no minority carriers.
What is minority charge carrier?
In semiconductor devices there are two types of charge carriers: electrons and holes. In N-type doped semiconductor the majority charge carriers are electrons and the minority charge carriers are holes. In P-type doped semiconductor the majority charge carriers are holes and the minority charge carriers are electrons.Some kinds of semiconductor devices operate using minority charge carriers in part(s) of their structure. The common bipolar junction transistor is one of these, they are sensitive to a phenomenon called thermal runaway because additional minority carriers are produced as temperature increases. (field effect transistors however operate using only majority carriers and are thus not sensitive to thermal runaway)
What are the majority and minority current carriers in an N-type and a P-type semiconductor?
In an N-type semiconductor, majority current carriers are electrons, while minority current carriers are holes. In a P-type semiconductor, majority current carriers are holes, while minority current carriers are electrons.
Why bjt is a minority carrier device?
Although a small part of the transistor current is due to the flow of majority carriers, most of the transistor current is due to the flow of minority carriers and so BJTs are classified as 'minority-carrier' devices.
What is the major difference between a bipolar an unipolar dc?
Bipolar dc involves both majority carrier and minority carriers for conduction while unipolar requires only majority carriers or minority carriers during conduction. point of view based on electronics devices.
Why current flows in reverse bias in special types of diodes?
due to minority carriers
Leakage current in diode is due to?
The p-region of a diode contains an abundance of holes, but also contains a small percentage of electrons. Similarly, the n-region also contains a small percentage of holes. These are knows as the minority carriers. Again, like charges repel, so when the diode is reverse biased, these minority carriers will migrate toward the boundary region. The minority carriers will recombine at the boundary region, and thus enable an electric current. Because these carriers are few in number (orders of magnitude less than the majority carriers), this current is very small. This represents the leakage current of a diode. The mobility of minority carriers increases with temperature, and heating a diode will cause greater numbers of minority carriers to congregate at the boundary region. This will increase leakage current. Surface contamination on the diode may also allow small amounts of electricity to be conducted, again causing leakage.
What is unipolar device?
bipolar devices use both majority and minority current carriersunipolar devices use only majority current carriers
Define reverse saturation current?
In diode some current flows for the presence of the minority charge carriers. This current is known as reverse saturated current. This is generally measured by picoampere. This current is independent of reverse voltage. It only depends on the thermal excitation of the minority carriers
What are excess carriers in semiconductors?
there excess carriers can dominate the conduction process in semiconductor material.
How is reverse current in a diode produced?
The main reason for produce reverse current in a diode is "MINORITY CARRIERS". For reverse bias diode i.e negative terminal connected to p side and positive to n side the electrons in p side(minority charge carriers) attracted towards the positive polarity i.e towards positive terminal. Hence the current (reverse saturation) flows.Holes also contributed the current by attracting towards negative side.
Why minority carriers in P-type is electrons?
The P-type semiconductors have a very large percentage of holes.
