Can we take one slab of p-type semiconductor and physically join it to another n-type semiconductor to get p-n junction?

\(p-n\) junction is a semiconductor diode.It is obtained by bringing \(p-\) type semiconductor include contact with \(n-\) type semiconductor. A thin layer is developed at the \(p-\) junction which is devoid of any charge carrier but has immobile ions. It is called depletion layer. At the junction a potential barrier appears, which does not allow the movement of majority charge carriers across the junction in the absence of any biasing of the junction.
\(p-\)n junction offers low resistance when forward biased and high resistance when reverse biased. Read the above paragraph and answer the following questions:
(i) Can we measure the potential barrier of \(p-n\) junction by putting a sensitive voltmeter across its terminals?
(ii) What practical lesson do you draw from the above study?

Rohan was studying in a science college and was staying with his grandfather. One day, the old torch which was being used by Rohan's grand father stopped working.He asked Rohan to purchase a new torch for him.Rohan himself made a torch using LED with a small recharge battery and gave it to his grand father as a gift.Rohan explained the advantages of LED  over a bulb. Rohan's grand father was very happy.
Read the above passage and answer the following questions:
(i) What is LED? Name the two materials used in making LED, whose light falls in the visible region.
(ii) Why LED is a better choice than a bulb in torch?
(iii) What do you think about the attitude of Rohan towards his grand father ?

Manoj wanted to do social work during vacations.He visited a remote village where there was no electricity. He made up his mind to help the villagers for getting the solar panels. For this he educated the villagers about techonology and uses of solar panels.he requested the villagers to Villagers agreed and applied for the solar panels. They got the same from government at reduced price. When the solar panels started working,the villagers were happy.
Read the passage and answer the following questions:
(i) What is solar panel?
(ii) What is the basic principle of working of a solar cell?
(iii) What are the basic values you assess in Manoj?
