Use T if it's True and F if it's False. Justify I. A semiconductor is characterized by having a very wide forbidden band, between conduction and valence.II. The band of the Energetic Interval where there are those electrons that can move freely and are free from the attraction of the atom is called conduction.III. In a semiconductor with donor atoms (for example P in Si), the donor level is just below the conduction band.IV. A diode will conduct current in only one direction and act as an open circuit when the current tries to move in the opposite direction.
