उत्तर
'base' and 'base'
In transistors, the emitter−base junction is forward biassed and the collector−base junction is reverse biassed. This is done to make majority carriers cross the emitter−base junction; this helps the electric current to flow through the transistor.

When a semiconducting material is doped with an impurity, new acceptor levels are created. In a particular thermal collision, a valence electron receives an energy equal to 2kT and just reaches one of the acceptor levels. Assuming that the energy of the electron was at the top edge of the valence band and that the temperature T is equal to 300 K, find the energy of the acceptor levels above the valence band.
