Q:

When a piece of pure silicon is doped with aluminium, then

A) the conductivity of the doped silicon piece will remain the same B) the doped silicon piece will become n-type
C) the doped silicon piece will become p-type D) the resistivity of the doped silicon piece will increase
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) the doped silicon piece will become p-type

Explanation:

p type of semiconductor is obtained when Silicon is doped with a trivalent impurity like Aluminium. Aluminium is a p-type dopant, which means that when a semiconductor i.e. silicon is doped with aluminium, it creates a hole (positively charged carrier) by accepting an electron from the silicon atom. Electrical conductivity of semiconductors increasesand resistivity remains the same

Q:

What is another name for energy of motion?

A) Motional energy B) Potential energy
C) Kinetic energy D) Rotational energy
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Kinetic energy

Explanation:

Every object has two typea of energies. They are ::

Potential energy

Kinetic energy

 

If the object is in motion, then it has Kinetic energy (KE). Potential energy (PE) is energy that is "stored" because of the position and/or arrangement of the object.

 

Hence, another name for energy of motion is called Kinetic energy.

Q:

Magnetic domains normally occur in

A) copper B) silver
C) iron D) All of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) iron

Explanation:

A magnetic domain is a region within a magnetic material in which the magnetization is in a uniform direction. This means that the individual magnetic moments of the atoms are aligned with one another and they point in the same direction.

Q:

At the center of the sun, fusion converts hydrogen into

A) Helium B) Plutonium
C) Water D) Carbon
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Helium

Explanation:

At the center of the sun, nuclear fusion converts hydrogen into helium, energy, and neutrinos. Nuclear fusion is a reaction in which two or more atomic nuclei are combined to form one or more different atomic nuclei and subatomic particles (neutrons or protons).

Q:

What is a Contact Force and explain with an example?

Answer

A Contact force is a force applied to a body by another body that is in contact with it. Contact force acts on a point of direct contact between the two objects. This force can either be continuous as a continuous force or can be momentary in the form of an impulse. Contact force is governed by Newton’s Laws.


Examples :: Contact force is responsible for most of the interactions we experience in the daily life.


1. Writing your name with a pen, pushing a car up a hill, lifting an object, etc...


2. Kicking a ball, hammering a nail, etc...


are some of the everyday examples where contact forces are at work.


In the first case, the force is continuously applied by the person on the car or pen or an object while in the second case the force is delivered in a short impulse.


 


Contact forces are often decomposed into orthogonal components


one perpendicular to the surface in contact called the normal force, and


one parallel to the surface in contact, called the friction force.
