Answer 27.
a. During the formation of a p-n junction, holes diffuse from p to n side and electrons diffuse from n to p side. Thus there is excess of positively charged ions in n side and negatively charged ions in p side. This sets up a potential difference across the junction which is called barrier potential. It stops further diffusion.

i.e.,


Cyclotron uses the fact that the frequency of revolution of the charged particle in a magnetic field is independent of its energy. The particles move most of the time inside two semicircular disc-like metal containers, D1 and D2, which are called dees.
The whole assembly is evacuated to minimise collisions between the ions and the air molecules. A high frequency alternating voltage is applied to the dees. Positive ions or positively charged particles (e.g., proton) are released at the centre P. They move a semi-circular path in one of the dees and arrive in the gap between the dees in a time interval T/2; where T, the period of revolution, is given T = 1/ u_c = 2πm/qB
u_c = qB / 2πm. This frequency is called the cyclotron frequency for obvious reasons and is denoted by u_c.
