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

Confederal System of Government ::

A system of government where power is located with the independent states and there is little power in the central government.

 

Today, no nation follows a confederal system. Organizations, like the European Union and the Commonwealth of Independent States, are based on the ideas of a confederal system. Several nations make up these organizations, but they still retain the majority of their independence.

Q:

Indicate what would the SWAP macro be expanded to on preprocessing. Would the code compile?

#define SWAP (a, b, c ) (c t; t = a, a = b, b = t; )

main()

{

    int x = 10, y = 20;

    SWAP (x, y, int );

    printf ( " %d%d ", x, y);

}

Answer

( int t ; t = a, a = b, b = t ;);


This code won't compile since declaration of t cannot occur within parentheses.
