    In a nuclear reaction, mass can be converted into energy through the mass-energy equivalence principle, described by Einstein’s equation
    E = mc²
    . While protons and neutrons are conserved, the total mass of the resulting particles can be slightly less than the initial mass. This “missing” mass is converted into energy. For example, in nuclear fusion, the mass of fused hydrogen atoms is slightly less than the combined mass of the individual atoms, and the difference is released as energy.

  2. The p-n junction diode offers very high resistance in reverse biasing, where the applied voltage increases the width of the depletion region, preventing the flow of majority charge carriers across the junction.

  3. To determine if diode D is forward or reverse biased, check the voltage across it: Forward biased: Positive terminal of the battery connected to p-side. Reverse biased: Positive terminal connected to n-side. For more visit here: https://www.tiwariacademy.com/ncert-solutions/class-12/physics/chapter-Read more

    An n-type semiconductor is doped with elements like phosphorus, adding extra electrons (negative charge carriers). A p-type semiconductor is doped with elements like boron, creating “holes” (positive charge carriers) by missing electrons. Both enhance conductivity in intrinsic semiconductors but differ by dominant charge carriers: electrons in n-type and holes in p-type.
