Esaki diodes use only one type of charge carriers during their operation.

Esaki diodes use only one type of charge carriers during their operation. Correct Answer False

Esaki diode or tunnel diode is a semiconductor diode that has effective “negative resistance” due to the mechanical effect called tunneling. These diodes utilize only one type of charge carriers – either electrons or holes. These diodes form an interband device where electrons tunnel from the conduction band to hole states in the valence band.

A pipe, working at full speed, can fill an empty cistern in 1 hour. However, during the first hour it worked at one-twenty-fourth of its capacity, during the second hour at one-twelfth of its capacity, during the third hour at one-eighth of its usual capacity, during the fourth hours at one-fourth of its usual capacity and during the fifth hour it was only one-half as efficient as it was supposed to be. A second pipe also displayed similar performance, but if it worked at full speed would have filled the empty cistern in 2 hours. Together with a drain pipe that drained water out of the tank a constant rate, the empty cistern could be filled in 5 hours, all the three pipe working concurrently. How many hours will it take the drain pipe to empty the filled cistern if no other pipe was functioning during the time?

The navies of India, the US, Japan, and Australia will kick off the second phase of the Malabar exercise. P. It is because it will involve the participation of Indian and American aircraft carriers.  Q. The two carriers along with other ships, submarines, and aircraft of the participating navies, would be engaged in high-intensity naval operations. R. It will be held in the northern Arabian Sea when China is closely tracking the activities of the Quad countries. S. The second phase of drills will be more elaborate and complex than the first one. S6. The exercise is being conducted at a time when India and China are locked in a border row in the Ladakh sector.
