What are semiconductors?


Semiconductors are materials whose conductivity is between that of conductors and insulators.


Examples of semiconductor materials : Silicon and Germanium.


These materials are used to make semiconductor devices like Diodes, Transistors and Integrated Circuits which are the building blocks of Electronics. These devices have led to the miniaturization of our gadgets in daily life e.g. computers, i-pods etc.


Reflect on this :

Imagine a life without electronic appliances. What are the things you would miss?

    Q1. yes is there, when connecting a diode in the direction of flow, the current will passe, exactly it's the same in hydraulic valve when connecting a pipe in the direction of flow, the oil or liquid will flow.

    Q2. I will miss many things, like the ac will not exist and the ac in our country is very important.
