QUESTION 8
3.1 The current flow through the galvanometer depends on the potential
difference across the galvanometer. If the bridge is balanced then the
potential difference across the meter will be zero as there is no current flow
through the meter. This balanced condition allows us to determine the value
of the unknown resistor if the other three resistors are known.
(Any other logical description is acceptable.) (4)
3.2 PTC thermistor ~ Resistance is directly proportional to temperature; when

direction.
NTC thermistor — Resistance is inversely proportional to temperature; when

The following paragraph explains the doping processes. Select the correct
word from the options provided that would make the statements true.
The deliberate addition of controlled amounts of foreign atoms or impurities to
a pure or intrinsic semiconductor is called doping.
If a (2.2.1 pentavalenttrivalent) impurity atom (5 valence electrons) was
added, an excess of (2.2.2 holes/electrons) would be produced. This process
is called (2.2.3 acceptor/donor) doping and results in (2.2.4 P-type/N-type)
material being formed. In this type of material, the majority charge carriers are
the (2.2.5 holes/electrons).
However, if a (2.2.6 pentavalentftrivalent] atom (an atom that has 3 valence
electrons) was added, an excess of (2.2.7 holes/electrons) will result and this
process is called (2.2.8 acceptor/donor) doping. This process results in
(2.2.9 P-type/N-type) material being formed. Here the majority charge carriers
are (2.2.10 holes/electrons).

6.3.1 In a PN-junction diode, the depletion region forms part of the
dielectric. ¥ By adjusting the reverse bias voltage ¥ the depletion
region widens or narrows moving the electrodes further apart or
closer, certain specific values of junction capacitance can be
controlled “, so that the diode can be used as a capacitor. (3)
6.3.2 When light falls on the PN-junction, “electron-hole pairs are
created which increases the availability of minority carriers. The
minority carriers under reverse-bias conditions cause an
increase V in the leakage current. As the light intensity increases,
the leakage current increases VY and the diode becomes more
