(4 Marks) (F) Define The Terms P-Type' and N-Type' As It Relates To Semi-Conductors

The document discusses non-ohmic conductors, semiconductors, and semiconductor diodes. It provides sketches of I-V graphs showing the non-linear relationship for a non-ohmic conductor and semiconductor diode. It asks for definitions of p-type and n-type semiconductors, which introduce excess holes or electrons respectively. Finally, it requests a block diagram of a semiconductor diode.
